Australian Marine Sciences Association Jubilee Award

The Australian Marine Sciences Association Jubilee Award honours a scientist who has made an outstanding contribution to marine research in Australia during his or her career. To commemorate its Silver Jubilee Year in 1988, AMSA established this award for excellence in marine research in Australia. It was inaugurated at the AMSA Silver Jubilee Conference in Sydney on 13 December 1988.

This award for excellence in marine research is presented to a scientist who has made an outstanding contribution to marine research in Australia. Contributions to the administration and promotion of marine science and technology are not within the scope of the award.

Selection criteria include aspects such as the:

• Development of new insights into Australian marine environments and systems;
• Initiation of new fields of study or new applications,

The recipient of the award will be presented with a citation and trophy, and will be invited to give a plenary address to the Annual AMSA Conference.
