Boynton

Walter Boynton (University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Science, Chesapeake Biological Laboratory)
The Ruth Patrick Award honors scientists who have applied the aquatic sciences towards solving critical environmental problems. Walter Boynton (University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Science, Chesapeake Biological Laboratory) is the 2017 recipient of the Ruth Patrick Award for his research to solve environmental problems and shape policy with long-lasting impacts on estuarine ecosystems.

Sterner

Robert Sterner (University of Minnesota Duluth) and Dag Hessen (University of Oslo)
The John H. Martin Award recognizes a paper in aquatic sciences that is judged to have had a high impact on subsequent research in the field. The 2017 Martin Award is for “Algal nutrient limitation and the nutrition of aquatic herbivores” by Robert Sterner and Dag Hessen. Sterner and Hessen (1994) created a major paradigm shift in our understanding of producer-consumer interactions and the biogeochemistry of C, N, and P, and is one of the founding contributions to the field of "Ecological Stoichiometry”.
