Ms. Akiba received the Student Presentation Award at the Physical Society of Japan 2020 Annual(75th)Meeting. / 博士课程工学专业环境社会系统学课程2年级秋叶祐里获得日本物理学会第75届年会（2020年）学生优秀发表奖 获奖于领域11

　On Friday, May 22, 2020, Ms. Yuri Akiba(graduated from the Department of Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences) (academic supervisor: Prof. Hiroyuki Shima, Faculty of Life and Environment), a second-year PhD student in the Environmental and Social Systems Course of the Faculty of Engineering, was awarded the 75th Annual Meeting of the Physical Society of Japan Convention (2020) Student Award for Excellence in Presentation, Area 11. This award is given to an outstanding young researcher who may contribute to the revitalization of the Physical Society of Japan.
　The theme of the presentation is “Is the cooling rate related to the fracture shape of igneous rocks? ”Although an igneous rock is a rock that is formed when magma cools and hardens, it has a prismatic structure called a “columnar node”. The research results indicate that these columnar nodes have universal properties that do not depend on conditions such as cooling rate or chemical composition of the rock.
　“I am very happy to receive this award,” said Dr. Akiba. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the professors and laboratory members for their guidance and cooperation. Encouraged by this award, I will continue to work hard.”

　令和2年5月22日（星期五），博士课程工学专业环境社会系统课程学2年级（生命环境学院环境科学专业毕业）的秋叶祐里（指导教师：岛弘幸 生命环境学院教授）获得了日本物理学会第75届年会（2020年）学生优秀发表奖 获奖于领域11。该奖是授予对日本物理学会的活跃有贡献的优秀的年轻研究学者的奖项。
　获奖题目是《冷却速度与火成岩的龟裂形状有关吗？》。火成岩是岩浆冷却凝固而形成的岩石，其中有被称作为“柱状节理”的方柱结构。关于这个柱状节理，论文报告了其具有不受冷却速度和岩石的化学组成等条件影响的普遍性质。
　获奖的秋叶说：“获得了光荣的奖项，我感到非常高兴。向给予指导、协助的老师们，研究室的各位表示衷心的感谢。这次获奖将鼓励我今后加倍努力学习与研究。”
