The Acoustical Society of America announces the availability of a prize to honor continuing research accomplishments of young and mid- career scientists in Acoustical Oceanography. Consideration will be given to individuals whose work demonstrates the candidate's effective use of sound in the discovery and understanding of physical and biological parameters and processes in the sea. For the purposes of this Prize, research based solely on computer models will not be accepted as a substitute for ocean experiments or effective, small-scale laboratory models and experiments. The applicant or nominee need not be a member of the Acoustical Society of America. For more details click on the link below. Medwin Prize in Acoustical Oceanography Past Winners
The first Medwin Prize in Acoustical Oceanography was awarded to Timothy G. Leighton of the Institute of sound and Vibration Research, Southampton University, UK at the Ft. Lauderdale meeting. He was awarded the prize "for the effective use of sound in the discovery and understanding of physical processes and parameters in the sea, particularly ocean bubbles. " 2002 Medwin Prize in Acoustical Oceanography
Dr. Bruce Cornuelle of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California at San Diego, has been selected as the recipient of the 2002 Medwin Prize in Acoustical Oceanography from the Acoustical Society of America. He will receive the Prize and give the Medwin Prize lecture at the spring 2002 ASA meeting in Pittsburgh. His citation reads: "for the effective use of sound in the discovery and understanding of physical processes in the sea, using inverse methods to interpret long-range acoustic propagation data." 2003 Medwin Prize in Acoustical Oceanography
Dr. Jeffrey A. Nystuen of the Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Wasington has been selected as the recipient of the 2003 Medwin Prize in Acoustical Oceanography from the Acoustical Society of America. He is receiving the Prize for the developement and effective use of measurements of underwater sound generated by rain to determine rainfall rate and type at sea. He will receive the Prize and give the Medwin Prize lecture at the spring 2003 ASA meeting in Nashville. The title of the Medwin Prize lecture is "The sound of Rainfall at Sea." 2004 Medwin Prize in Acoustical Oceanography Dr. Stan Dosso of University of Victoria, Canada, has been selected as the as the recipient of the 2003 Medwin Prize in Acoustical Oceanography from the Acoustical Society of America. He is receiving the Prize for the development of non-linear methods for geoacoustic inversion and acoustic localization. His Medwin Prize Lecture (New York Meeting) was titled Ocean acoustic inversion for seabed geoacoustic properties. |
