G. Evelyn Hutchinson Award
Appearance
The G. Evelyn Hutchinson Award is an award granted annually by the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography to a mid-career scientist for work accomplished during the preceding 5–10 years for excellence in any aspect of limnology or oceanography.[1] The award is named in honor of the ecologist and limnologist G. Evelyn Hutchinson.[2][3] Hutchinson requested that recipients of the award have made considerable contributions to knowledge, and that their future work promise a continuing legacy of scientific excellence.[4][5]
