1. Early Career Scientist Medallists 2021
The IAPSO Early Career Scientist Medal honours Early Career Scientists for their outstanding research in the physical or chemical sciences of the oceans, and for their cooperation in international research.
The committee on awarding IAPSO Early Career Scientist (ECS) medals 2021 has received excellent nominations for the disciplines Physics and Chemistry. After careful consideration the following awardees are selected:
 The 2021 IAPSO ECS medallist in Physics is Dr. Thomas Wahl (University of Central Florida, USA), for his fundamental contributions to the research on changes in mean sea level, tides, storm surges, waves, and their interactions.
Dr. Wahl's research has had a high impact with significant involvement in practical outcomes, and with immediate relevance to humankind. He has also written key publications in an accessible manner to multi-disciplinary audiences.
The 2021 IAPSO ECS medallist in Chemistry is Dr. Jessica Fitzsimmons (Texas A&M University, USA), for her contributions to advances in the analysis, distribution and cycling of trace elements in the oceans, particularly iron.
Dr. Fitzsimmons has a strong publication record, and she has made an important impact on the community studying trace metals in the ocean. In addition, she has extensive editorial experience and has frequently led seagoing research expeditions.
Congratulations to Jessica and Thomas!
Given the cancellation of the General Assembly in 2021, the 2021 Medals will be presented to Awardees in person during the IUGG General Assembly, Berlin, July 2023.
The Awardees will make a presentation of their work during the ECS session of the Virtual Atmosphere-Cryosphere-Ocean seminar series scheduled for 21 July 2021.
