The 2025 IAPSO Early Career Scientist medallist in physical oceanography is Dr. Adele K. Morrison (Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University, Australia).
This is awarded in recognition of her groundbreaking contributions to Southern Ocean dynamics, particularly her work on the role of mesoscale eddies in governing ocean circulation, the transport of heat and carbon, and the interaction between ocean currents and Antarctic ice shelves.
Dr. Morrison gave a talk entitled "Dynamical linkages between distinct oceanic regimes around Antarctica".
