Hiroshi Ujiié, one of Japan’s foremost foraminiferal specialists and former Associate Editor of the Journal of Foraminiferal Research (1974–1984–1993–2003), passed away on April 26, 2006 in Tokyo, Japan. He was best known for his studies of Recent and Neogene benthic and planktonic foraminifera from the western Pacific Ocean and foraminifera from Cenozoic marine sediments exposed on the Japanese islands.

Prof. Ujiié was a pioneer in the application of quantitative methods of faunal analysis and continually sought to demonstrate the power of statistical analysis in his studies. He relished applying his knowledge of foraminifera to address questions surrounding Earth history and he was equally adept at studying living foraminifera, analyzing biostratigraphic zonations, or interpreting the environment of Neogene benthic assemblages. He was an excellent geologist, . . . [Full Text of this Article]
