TOS Fellows Program
Recognizing Individuals Who Have Attained Eminence in Oceanography Through Their Outstanding Contributions to the Field of Oceanography or Its Applications During a Substantial Period of YearsABOUT
The Oceanography Society’s origins are rooted in bringing together and recognizing individuals from all fields of oceanography, representing the broad interests of members in research, engineering, industry, policy, and education, and the diversity and international nature of the society. TOS members from all areas of oceanography will be considered for the Fellows Program. A recommendation for advancement 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 outstanding and sustained contributions, and devotion to the broad field of oceanography, commensurate with the founding principles of the Society.
New Fellows may be selected each year, but no more than 0.5% of the TOS membership of the Society will be advanced to Fellows each year.

Nominations are to be forwarded to the Fellows Committee, via the TOS Executive Director, by October 31, 2019. Nominations will automatically remain active for two years, but the nominator may revise and resubmit new information at any time.
