ASLO stands firm with the scientific community in expressing serious concerns about the proposed OMB rule on federal financial assistance. See the full statement here: www.aslo.org/aslo-comment...

It's an important time to speak out against the proposed changes to OMB rules - see ASLO statement. And, we are ready to lend our expertise to review what needs fixing and rebuild.

ASLO is accepting session proposals for the 2027 Aquatic Sciences Meeting happening 28 February–5 March 2027 in San Juan, Puerto Rico! Propose a special session related to the meeting theme or other emerging topics in aquatic sciences at www.aslo.org/san-juan-202... #ASLO27 #AquaticSciences

🌊 Happy World Ocean Day! From crashing waves along our coast to the deepest parts of the sea. From microscopic plankton to vast ocean currents. From student fieldwork aboard small boats to discoveries made on research vessels around the globe. The ocean connects us all. 🌎 #WorldOceanDay

A new special collection welcomes articles that showcase the broad range of solutions-focused research & capacity-sharing efforts that meet the UN Ocean Decade's vision: "the science we need for the ocean we want." 🔗 spklr.io/63323EMnZP #JpGU2026 #AGUPubs #OceanScience #OceanDecade #SDG14

NES-LTER Data Jam 2026 projects are rolling in! We love student creativity describing patterns and reasoning about data. Pictured: Scratch game designed by 5th graders at Morse Pond School in Falmouth MA, based on NMFS trawl data. tinyurl.com/NES-LTERData... @uslter.bsky.social @whoi.edu

It's a pleasure and an honor to be part of the ASLO awards. I can attest it's transformative for recipients, so think about your deserving colleagues, and nominate someone. Congratulations Dr. Grottoli and all honorees.

Thanks to all who came to the ASLO-SIL closing plenary to honor Dr. Jan Amend, Dr. Sarah M. Collins and Dr. Beth Hundey. It was hard to do but I would do it again and again to honor our friend and colleague. Big hugs to you all, Pete @aslo.org

Best position ad ever - howdy partner #ASLOSIL26

At last - our Marvelous Montreal Meeting with SIL has launched! So glad to be here with everybody - largest attendance ASLO has seen at a summer meeting.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Please join me in recognizing and celebrating the honorees of this year's #ASLO awards. And thank you to award committee chairs Kateri Salk and Elizabeth Harvey.

#ASLO members, meet the candidates for the next Student Board Member! The Student Board Members represent the interests of students on the Board of Directors for a three-year term. Read the candidates’ statements and vote by 28 April here: www.aslo.org/aslo-election

So inspired by what collaboration, science and a vision can yield. More of that, please.

Please cast your vote in the 2026 ASLO Elections. Determine the next leaders of our beautiful scientific society.

In collaboration with @aslo.org , @tosoceanography.bsky.social, we thank you for a successful #OSM26! See you at #OSM28 27 February–3 March, Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦! 📷 Cred: Bianca Otero

💙🌊 BWEEMS members are in the room and at the table! Excited to see our community represented at the launch of the ASLO Emerging Fellows Program, created with Schmidt Ocean Coalition, supporting students through mentorship, professional development, and real growth in aquatic sciences. 🌱🔬

#OSM26 attendees: Please join us for 'ED23C - ASLO Emerging Fellows: Fostering the Next Generation of Aquatic Scientists' to meet the Fellows & learn more about their research and vision in shaping aquatic science! Tue, 24 Feb 2:00 PM at Hall 4 eLightning Theater eppro02.ativ.me/appinfo.php?...

#ASLO is honored to announce Dr. Debbie Lindell as the recipient of the 2026 Hutchinson Award for pioneering contributions to understanding how viruses shape marine microbial ecology, revealing host–virus interactions from single cells to entire ocean basins.

Please note that emails from 'me' asking you to 'help' are a scam based on publicly available data (e.g. attendees at ASLO meetings). ASLO never* asks for money from members. What we do ask is that you engage with ASLO and renew your membership! www.aslo.org/membership-o... Sorry about the bother.

Hearing directly from scientists on the impact of funding cuts is very informative iaglr.org/releases/sur...

Fabulous opportunity for exposure to exciting careers in aquatic sciences. Thanks ASLO Student Committee!

Aquatic sciences are central to humanities well being. This piece stresses military dependence on scientific knowledge and there is so much more. Avoidance of loss of life on D-Day was new to me, as was the involvement of Walter Munk! www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

🌊 #URIGSO professor @drplankton.bsky.social joins a global team of experts to outline the many ways plankton (tiny, single-celled aquatic organisms) make life on Earth possible: from regulating climate and fueling ecosystems to advancing science, sustaining economies, and shaping culture. 🦑 🧪

Plankton make Earth habitable. Here a number of plankton experts, led by an early career colleague show (incl. in high quality images), why and how. academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

Women make up only 16% of corresponding authors who submit to Nature, a new Springer Nature analysis revealed. This is not enough - there are 30-40% #womeninSTEM We want to change it, through targeted editorial policies & outreach. But change will take everyone! 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Fabulous work communicating science where it counts: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/s...

Water is essential, but 1 in 3 people still lack access to safe drinking water. ASLO recently supported @agu.org and @asm.org in producing a report on how climate change fuels waterborne infections and how science can help. Check it out now: asm.org/reports/wate...

🌊🛳️ In May, three #URIGSO alums were together on #RVEndeavor to study ocean alkalinity enhancement’s impact on the planktonic food web in Georges Bank. A full circle moment for (left to right) Erica “Rickie” Ewton (Ph.D. ’25), Françoise Morison (M.S. ’14, Ph.D. ’16), and Andria Miller (M.S. ’23)! 🌊

This looks like a fabulous opportunity to share the deep value science has for society in a non-partisan way. A collective effort put together by graduate students. blogs.cornell.edu/asap/events-...

Two days remain to comment on the US FWS and NMFS rule change that undermines the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This proposal rescinds the definition of “harm,” limiting protections to actions that directly injure or kill listed species, leaving their habitats vulnerable. Please submit comments! 🧪

It's wonderful to see when truly outstanding scientists, who generously give to the community and lead with excellence are recognized for their contributions. Congratulations, Scott @scottdoney.bsky.social

The ocean is always changing — and so is how we study it. Hear Dr. Chris Scholin discuss how the advent of robotic and advanced sensing and computing technologies has transformed #oceanography at our May 1 lecture. Register: buff.ly/dgMaBzn
