JpGU (Japan Geoscience Union) announced that it has awarded a 2020 JpGU Fellowship to Natsuo Sato, Emeritus Professor at NIPR (and ex deputy director), for his notable contributions to the field of geoscience in Japan. In particular, the JpGU recognises his "outstanding contribution to solar-terrestrial physics through state-of-the-art research into north-south conjugate observations of the aurora, and international collaborative research based on the establishment of SuperDARN, the international network of large-scale shortwave radar". Natsuo was the original PI of the SENSU Antarctic Syowa radars and has greatly contributed to the establishment of SuperDARN and the scientific achievement of the field.

Deadline for submission to SuperDARN Special Issue in Polar Science journal extended to the end of June, 2020 Mar., 2020
Thank you very much for your great contribution to the Special Issue on SuperDARN in Polar Science journal.
We recently received several messages from our community asking to extend the deadline due to their difficulties related to the current situations around the world. We've discussed on this issue with the Polar Science editorial office and all the Guest Editors, and finally reached a conclusion to extend the deadline again to the end of June this year. (i.e., submission extension again, but I think this should be the final one unless something extreme happen in the near future...)
The deadline extension was decided because we understand there are some people who would like to submit their manuscripts, but still have difficulties to meet the deadline under the limitations including or related to current COVID-19 situations. And we also believe this slight more extension might encourage people not to give up their submission, or furthermore, to complete and submit new manuscripts or potential papers not submitted yet to the SI.
OK, so the new (and final) deadline is now *** the end of June, 2020***. We encourage all of you again to submit your valuable papers related to SuperDARN to the special issue by the new deadline. Many thanks for your attention and considering your submission!
But before all of these above..., we really hope and wish everyone here, your family, relatives, colleagues, friends, and people around you are all ok and will stay safe.
With best wishes, All the Guest editors for the special issue
