2023 AOGS Wing Ip Medallist
Professor Shigeo YODEN
Institute for Liberal Arts and Sciences, Kyoto University
Shigeo Yoden has been an international leader in geoscience for over three decades, in his scientific excellence, promotion of geoscience
research in the Asia Oceania region, and dissemination of knowledge to the wider community. He obtained his B.Sc., M.Sc., and D.Sc.
degrees from Kyoto University and then went to the University of Washington as a JSPS Fellow for Research Abroad. Since 1987 he hasserved energetically and creatively as a professor at Kyoto University. He is at the forefront of the intersection of applied mathematics and dynamicmeteorology. Through his careful and insightful work, he is an inspiring international leader, contributing fundamental new knowledge in stratospheric andtropospheric dynamics, tropical meteorology, climate dynamics, geophysical fluid dynamics, and atmospheric predictability. Examples from his exceptional
body of work include numerical and laboratory studies of the QBO, bifurcation and multiple flow regimes, formation of zonal banded structures in 2D
turbulence on a rotating sphere, Lyapunov stability analysis and predictability, and idealized numerical studies of waves and convection. Throughout hiscareer, Shigeo has played an integral role in defining international science collaborations in the areas of computational fluid dynamics, atmosphericpredictability, stratosphere-troposphere coupling, and tropical-extratropical coupling. His mentoring of graduate students and early career geoscientists hasbeen exceptional, including supervision of 14 Ph.D. scientists, with two from Southeast Asia. During the past two decades he has hosted 42 visiting scholars
from abroad, including scientists from Indonesia, the USA, Singapore, Canada, Vietnam, New Guinea, India, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Germany. He hasorganized 22 international scientific meetings and has served as a member of the WCRP/SPARC steering group. His contributions toward the developmentof international scientific infrastructure, especially in the Asia Oceania region, are outstanding. In his sustained efforts to foster international cooperation, hehas convened AOGS annual meetings and topics almost every year since 2004. He developed the Kyoto University Active Geosphere Investigations for the21st Century (KAGI21) symposium series during 2003-2007, the KAGI21 International Summer/Spring School (2004-2019), and the Institute of Technology
Bandung Biweekly Seminar Series. He was the PI for many international research projects, including International Research for Prevention and Mitigation ofMeteorological Disasters in Southeast Asia, and the JPSJ program on Extreme Weather in Changing Climate in the Maritime Continent. His substantial
leadership role in promoting aspects of geoscience includes membership in leading scientific societies in Japan, the USA, and the UK, serving as Trustee ofthe Meteorological Society of Japan, editor of J. Meteorol. Soc. Jpn. and J. Atmos. Sci., and president of the IAMAS International Commission on the Middle
Atmosphere. Shigeo has not only done outstanding research on theoretical aspects of atmospheric sciences, he has been very effective in translating suchknowledge to practical, societal applications. He has been especially effective at using AOGS as a platform to promote regional geophysical sciencecollaboration and is thoroughly deserving of the Wing Ip Medal Award.
