Yoshihiro Inoue, a second-year master’s student in the Graduate School of Science and Engineering (supervisor: Associate Professor Gréaux, GRC), and Kikuyo Inagaki, a first-year master’s student (supervisor: Lecturer Dekura, GRC), received the Student Outstanding Presentation Award at the JpGU 2025 meeting, held from May 25 to 30, 2025, at Makuhari Messe, Chiba Prefecture.
The Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU) is an organization comprising 50 societies and associations related to Earth and planetary sciences, and it hosts an annual meeting attended by over 9,000 participants this year. The Student Outstanding Presentation Award is evaluated primarily based on the individual student’s ability, considering the logical structure of the presentation, clarity of research objectives and results, contribution to the development of the field, knowledge of existing research, and the student’s initiative. Approximately 5–10% of entries are recognized as “outstanding presentations.”
The awards are given for each research field. In this year’s meeting, Mr. Inoue received the award in the Planetary and Space Science Section, while Ms. Inagaki was recognized in the Solid Earth Science Section.
Awarded Presentations:
- Yoshihiro Inoue: Elastic Wave Velocity Measurements of Lunar Mantle Pyroxene under High-Temperature and High-Pressure Conditions
- Kikuyo Inagaki: Ab initio Structural Models and Infrared Spectra of Hydrous Bridgmanite
