2026 Ed Ricketts Memorial Award and Lecture: Between Pacific Seamounts
About this event
The 2026 Ed Ricketts Memorial Award and Lecture honours Dr Andrew T. Fisher, who has worked in deep-sea research and teaching at the University of California, Santa Cruz for more than 30 years. His lecture, “Between Pacific Seamounts: Water, Heat, and Solutes from Rocks to Octopus and Back Again,” links results from field and modelling studies to show how new tools and computing are opening up opportunities in subseafloor exploration and discovery, drawing on his work across the deep sea and water and groundwater management.
The Ed Ricketts Memorial Award honours scientists whose careers have advanced knowledge, appreciation, conservation, or protection of the marine environment. Recipients are selected by the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Research Activity Panel.
