Cryosphere Early Career Award

Professor Yoshihiro Nakayama received the Cryosphere Early Career Award last month at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting, for his work on polar oceanography and Antarctic processes. "I am deeply honored to receive this award. My work integrating observations and modeling is made possible through the extensive support and collaboration of researchers worldwide. I'm grateful for their invaluable contributions."
