Minoru Ozima is an emeritus professor in the Earth and Planetary Science Department at the University of Tokyo. He was awarded the prestigious V. M. Goldschmidt Medal in 2010, recognising his major achievements in geochemistry and cosmochemistry. Professor Ozima was among the first to focus attention on the information contained in noble gas isotopes in application to the formation and evolution of the planets. He is a leading figure in this field, having contributed significantly to the establishment and development of the geochemistry and cosmochemistry of noble gases. He has published several books and is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, the Meteoritical Society, the European Association of Geochemistry and the Geochemical Society.
