Eligibility: To be an invited speaker at the symposium, an applicant must have received a doctorate from an accredited university after June 30, 2017 or must obtain written certification by the department chair or college dean that, in all probability, the degree will be awarded before July 1, 2019. The applicant’s thesis must deal with an important problem in physical oceanography. Selection of speakers will be made by a joint agency screening committee, principally on the basis of the scientific content of the thesis as judged from the attached abstract. The committee will attempt to select topics that reflect the scientific balance of the sponsoring agencies’ programs in physical oceanography. If necessary, to restrict the number of participants, the committee reserves the right to solicit additional application material and to consider such factors as programmatic and geographic balance.
