Congratulations to the 2020 ASLO Award Winners!

Congratulations to the 2020 ASLO Award Winners!

Each year, ASLO honors scientists for their achievements in the aquatic sciences. We are pleased to announce the winners of the 2020 ASLO Awards. The awards will be presented at the 2020 Ocean Sciences Meeting and at the 2020 ASLO-SFS Summer Meeting. More information about individual awardees is available at https://www.aslo.org/aslo-awards/2020-aslo-award-recipients/. Please join us in congratulating this year’s ASLO Award Winners!

 

The G. Evelyn Hutchinson Award honors a scientist who has made considerable contributions to knowledge in limnology and oceanography, and whose future work promises a continuing legacy of scientific excellence. Daniel Schindler receives the 2020 G. E. Hutchinson Award for inspiring insight about ecosystem connectivity across the fresh to saltwater continuum and how climate and landscape drive ecosystem processes.
