2022 RECIPIENT - DR. JAN NEWTON

Dr. Newton has made significant contributions to the design and development of sustained ocean observing, data analysis and forecasting. She has developed forecast models that help communities adapt to and plan for variable and changing ocean conditions increasing resilience. Dr. Newton led the coordination between IOOS, NOAA and the shellfish growers to research and mitigate ocean acidification that nearly devastated a $5 billion dollar industry within the United States. She is globally recognized as an expert in this field and is a co-founder and co-chair of the Global Ocean Acidification Network.
