Congratulations to Professor Ohmura for a well-deserved recognition of his scholarship and contributions to cryospheric science.
While the cryosphere disciplines still have progress to make, it is encouraging to see some awards, like the IASC Medal, reaching out beyond their past confines -- and to see the same in the JoG's most highly cited papers of today. Progress is slow for a number of reasons that are well examined in the scholarly literature, nevertheless, I much prefer the more inclusive present to the exclusive past.

For people who like citations counts, Atsumu wrote the most highly cited paper (Web Science) in Journal of Glaciology 1991. He then wrote the third most highly cited paper in JoG 1992. I was the Scientific Editor (SE) on both papers. For both papers, I had to allow him massive tables that could only be printed in the specially small font that JoG keeps for its best authors.
I must have learned something from editing the great man as I myself wrote the most highly cited paper in JoG for 1995.
Those were the happy days before we had to pay to publish in JoG.
