early to mid-September 2015) provide an
opportunity for Earth and ocean sciences
communities to review future require-
ments holistically and work together to
ensure the availability of infrastructure
necessary to conduct priority science.
NSF program managers from both the
Earth and the Ocean Sciences Divisions
must be part of this discussion. It is imper-
ative that scientists and managers begin
this conversation immediately and work
quickly to remove any barriers to the nec-
essary joining of the two communities.

The Oceanography Society (TOS) Fellows Program has been estab-
lished to recognize individuals who have attained eminence in
oceanography though their outstanding contributions to the field
of oceanography or its applications during a substantial period
of years. TOS members are encouraged to participate in honor-
ing 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 ad-
vancement to TOS 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 out-
standing and sustained contributions, and devotion to the
broad field of oceanography, commensurate with the founding
principles of the Society.
A complete nomination package includes:
• A three-page (maximum) nominating letter
• Three to five supporting letters, each two pages or less in length
• A document outlining the candidate’s professional history
To be considered this year, a complete nomination package must
be submitted electronically to info@tos.org (subject: Chair, Fellows
Committee) by October 31, 2015. Important details and instructions
regarding the nomination process are provided at http://www.tos.org/
awards_honors/fellows_program.html. This information is also avail-
able upon request from the TOS Executive Director (info@tos.org).
