http://tos.org/awardshonors
The Oceanography Society (TOS) Fellows Program was established to recognize indi-
viduals who have attained eminence in oceanography through their outstanding con-
tributions to the field of oceanography or its applications over a substantial number
of years. TOS members are encouraged to participate in honoring such individuals by
nominating or seconding their election as a TOS Fellow. TOS members from all areas
of oceanography will be considered for the Fellows Program. A recommendation for
advancement to TOSÂ Fellow is appropriate after an individual has been a TOS member
for at least three years, depending on his or her contributions to the field.
The main criteria for being elected a TOS Fellow are outstanding and sustained con-
tributions, and devotion to the broad field of oceanography, commensurate with the
founding principles of the Society.
To be considered this year, the Nominator, who must be a TOS member, should submit a
nomination package by October 31, 2016. Important details and instructions regard-
ing the nomination process are provided at http://tos.org/awardshonors. This infor-
mation is also available upon request from the TOS Executive Director (info@tos.org).
