ASLO Announces Society Awards

Each year, ASLO has the honor of recognizing individuals whose contributions to limnology and oceanography are outstanding and inspirational. This year's recipients are:

Alfred C. Redfield Lifetime Achievement Award: Tom Fenchel, for opening our eyes to the fascinating world of low Reynolds numbers and rapid diffusion and to the amazing adaptations of chemotactic and locomotive behaviour developed by protozoa and bacteria to life in a heterogenerous world.

Ruth Patrick Award for Environmental Problem Solving: David W. Schindler, for his unfaltering record of doing revolutionary research in directions that, in hindsight, were the most important environmental problems of the time.

G. Evelyn Hutchinson Award: Jed A. Fuhrman, for his development of the emergent field of microbial oceanography.

Raymond Lindeman Award for the Outstanding Paper in Aquatic Science by a Young Scientist: Leigh McCallister, for McCallister, S.L., J.E. Bauer, J.E. Cherrier and H.W. Ducklow. 2004. Assessing sources and ages of organic matter supporting river and estuarine bacterial production. Limnology and Oceanography, 49: 1687-1702.

John H. Martin Award for a High Impact Paper in the Aquatic Sciences awarded to: Azam, F., T. Fenchel, J.G. Field, S. Gray, L.A. Meyer-Reil, and F. Thingstad. 1983. The ecological role of water-column microbes in the sea. Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. 10:257-263.
