The Fellowship was awarded, "For outstanding contributions to experimental petrology especially to the structures, properties, and elemental partitioning behavior of magmas and fluids at high pressure and temperature, and also for his continuing initiatives to activate the Japanese Geoscience Union and its International Journal, Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (PEPS)”.
GL's Bjorn Mysen attended JPGU/AGU 2017 in May, where he served as convener for the session on: ”Fluid-mediated Processes near Convergent Plate Boundaries.”
While there, the Japanese Geoscience Union formally appointed Bjorn a Fellow of the JPGU together with a handful of others, including former GL postdoctoral fellow, Kei Hirose. The Fellowship was awarded, "For outstanding contributions to experimental petrology especially to the structures, properties, and elemental partitioning behavior of magmas and fluids at high pressure and temperature, and also for his continuing initiatives to activate the Japanese Geoscience Union and its International Journal, Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (PEPS)”.
