IAUC（国際都市気候学会）のニューズレターで、日本地理学会吉野賞受賞記事が出ました。私は元理事ですが、日本人会員のどなたか（日下元理事？）が原稿書いてくださったのかもしれません。

Matthias Roth receives the Masatoshi YOSHINO Award 2023 We are delighted to report that Professor Matthias Roth of the National University of Singapore, Singapore, is the winner of the Masatoshi YOSHINO Award 2023 given by the Association of Japanese Geographers (AJG) for "new developments in the field of urban climatology by clarifying the characteristics of urban climate in tropical regions and the characteristics of turbulence within the urban canopy layer, and for contributing to the international research community of urban climatology” (https://www.ajg.or.jp/award_ grant/yoshino-award/; in Japanese). An award ceremony and award commemorative lecture will be conducted at a meeting to be held in September 2024 in Nagoya, Japan. IAUC members will remember Professor Masatoshi Yoshino, a Japanese physical geographer and urban climatologist, author of 'Climate in a Small Area: Introduction to Local Meteorology’ published by the University of Tokyo Press in 1975, winner of the 2007 Luke Howard award and Professor Emeritus of the University of Tsukuba. Prof Yoshino died in 2017 and The Association of Japanese Geographers is giving a yearly award in his name for research done in the following sub-fields of geographical climatology / climate geography: micro climatology; historical climatology; disaster climatology; climate change; and climatology related to human activities, monsoons, or geoecology (https://www. ajg.or.jp/en/20230414/489/). True to Professor Yoshino’s urban climate research legacy, it is fitting that with Matthias an urban climatologist has for the first time received this award. Matthias is recognized for making significant contributions to new developments in the field of urban climatology through research on satellite-based remote sensing of urban surface temperatures, the understanding of turbulence characteristics over cities, in tropical urban climatology, as well as outstanding service to the international urban climate community, including serving as the third IAUC President (2007-2009) (https://www.ajg. or.jp/award_grant/yoshino-award/toshin/; in Japanese).
