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.

The Federal Judicial Center deleted a chapter on climate science from a reference manual for judges. I spoke to one of the authors of the chapter. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/c...

#OSM2026 is coming two weeks! We are organizing a suite of events for all participants, from students to mid-level career researchers. Including a mixer between the ASLO-ECC,SWMS & MNEA 🌊🧪 Stay tuned for our events, and many more by the societies @aslo.org @agu.org @tosoceanography.bsky.social

🎉 We’re excited to unveil our #OSM26 mascot’s name for this year: Clyde! 🎉 Inspired by Glasgow’s River Clyde, we’re delighted to announce Mickey Rogers as the contest winner! Don’t miss your chance to snag your own Clyde and other exclusive tartan merch at the OSM26 Store: oceansciencesmeeting.org

Please consider joining this call to protest the proposed dismantling of NCAR, a key research powerhouse critical to our understanding of climate change and its impacts. agu.quorum.us/campaign/151...

Registration and abstract submissions for oral and poster presentations are now open for #ASLOSIL2026 ! Don't miss this opportunity to share your insights at the ASLO-SIL 2026 Joint Meeting 12-16 May 2026 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. 🇨🇦 @aslo.org

Apply for the 2026 ASLO Science Communication Internship! Gain experience in a variety of #scicomm areas and explore diverse career paths in the #aquaticsciences. Open to current/recent graduate students (up to 2 years post graduation). 🔔 Deadline: Oct 15, 2025 www.aslo.org/scicomm-inte....

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...

Weather, water and what's at stake. Hear about the impacts of the proposed budget cuts on NOAA research products most American's rely on us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

June 9th is a remarkable anniversary in the American Revolution, Rhode Island, maritime leadership at its best. Worth watching, don't miss minute 8 onward www.youtube.com/watch?v=El_S...

🌊🛳️ 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

🗳️ ASLO Members: In the coming weeks, we encourage you to participate in the elections for 2 Members-at-Large and 1 Treasurer on the #ASLO Board of Directors. Log into your ASLO member account, review the candidates' statements on the ballot, and rank your preferences: www.aslo.org/vote-in-the-...
