The Oceanographic Society of Japan (JOS) is receiving nominations for the JOS Environmental Science Prize which will be awarded at the 2025 JOS spring meeting.
The JOS Environmental Science Prize is awarded to member(s) of the Society who has made outstanding contributions to the progress of academic research, social implementation, enlightenment and/or educational outreach related to marine environmental problems. It was established based on donations from the late Honorary Member Unoki and his family, who supported the discussion that the Society must consider ways to recognize and value not only scientific papers, but also basic research, proposals, commentary, educational activities, and others that are difficult to be expressed in scientific paper form, as well. For details and purposes of the establishment of the award, please refer to “the purpose of establishment” of the Award on the Society’s website (http://kaiyo-gakkai.jp/jos/about/jos_awards) or Chapter 6, Article 37 of the Rules of the Society.
In the selection process, emphasis is placed on the significance of the nominee’s activities based on his/her expertise. Candidates for the award are selected from a combination of recommendations from JOS members (self-recommendation is possible) and those from the selection committee. If a large number of candidates are recommended, young researchers will be given priority. We encourage you to recommend outstanding members worthy of this award.

Recommendations must be written in English or Japanese and should include the followings.
1. The nominee’s full name, affiliation and title
2. The nominee’s activity subject for the prize
3. Description of the nominee’s achievements for the prize
4. The nominator (*)’s full name, affiliation, email address and date of submission
