Visiting Professor Toshiyuki Hibiya (Emeritus Professor of the University of Tokyo, Visiting Principal Researcher of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology) was awarded the Elected Fellowship of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) at the opening ceremony of the 28th IUGG General Assembly held in Berlin, Germany, on July 13, 2023.

The IUGG consists of eight Associations (IACS: Cryospheric Sciences, IAG: Geodesy, IAGA: Geomagnetism and Aeronomy, IAHS: Hydrological Sciences, IAMAS: Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences, IAPSO: Physical Sciences of the Oceans, IASPEI: Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior, IAVCEI: Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior). The IUGG Elected Fellowship is awarded to researchers "who have made exceptional contributions to international cooperation in geodesy or geophysics and attained eminence in the field of Earth and space sciences." Professor Hibiya was selected for "being a global leader in the production of ocean turbulence by the internal tide and the parameterization of mixing in ocean and climate models." He is the first Japanese national to become an IUGG Elected Fellow.
