Please join us in congratulating these students on their excellent presentations. We would like to thank the session chairs and volunteer evaluators for sharing their expertise and providing thoughtful feedback on the presentations. This program would not have been possible without your generous support.

by Hunter Rousselle Hej! This is Hunter Rousselle, reporting from downtown Gothenburg, where the temperature never reaches the mid 70’s and the sunlight covers the horizon from 4 am until 10 pm. If you haven’t already figured it out, I am a participating in the LOREX ME program provided by ASLO assisting my mentor Lillian Goerlitz on our project investigating natural alkalinity sources along Sweden’s coast.

The Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) is pleased to announce the selection of Sarah Hasnain and Katherine Gallagher as Raelyn Cole Editorial Fellows. The Raelyn Cole Editorial Fellowship is a unique opportunity for early career aquatic scientists to gain experience in all aspects of scientific publishing, including open-access publishing, peer review, and scientific writing.

By: Kathy Stenehjem My name is Kathy Stenehjem and I am a 4th year PhD student in Dr. Meredith Holgerson’s lab at Cornell University. My research explores how mixing frequency shapes methane and phytoplankton dynamics within small freshwater ponds and lakes. I blearily roll out of bed and silence the alarm that has been singing every 10 minutes for the past half hour. I’ve always found it easiest to rise with the sun, but that is no easy task when the sun remains in the sky 24 hours a day.

The ASLO Student Resources and Activities Committee (SRAC) is looking for dedicated student members to join our committee! Students comprise approximately one-third of the ASLO membership and they hail from all over the world.

By Megan Berberich Last summer, I spent eight weeks in Umeå, Sweden through ASLO’s LOREX program. My project took place in the Krycklan Catchment Study, where I investigated methane and carbon dioxide dynamics across boreal streams with varying catchment characteristics and dissolved organic carbon concentrations. I specifically focused on carbon gas dynamics in the hyporheic zone, which is the area of the streambed where groundwater and surface water mix.

The Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) stands firm with the scientific community in expressing serious concerns about the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s proposed rule on federal financial assistance published on 29 May 2026 (docket OMB-2026-0034), currently open for public comment.

Joint workshop of SCOR and SOLAS: 7th DMS(P) Symposium: Sulfur - Carbon Nexus in the SOLAS Sphere October 12-15, 2026 in person at Bigelow Laboratory (Boothbay Harbor, Maine, USA) and online. Registration is open. The sulfur and carbon cycles are inextricably linked in the ocean. The organosulfur compound dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) ignited an entire subfield of biogeochemistry to investigate the precursor of the “anti-greenhouse gas” dimethylsulfide (DMS).

The Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) is pleased to announce the selection of Lasse Riemann as the next Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of the journal Limnology and Oceanography Letters (LOL)! Dr. Riemann was approved for the LOL EIC position by the Board of Directors following an open search and enthusiastic recommendation by the ASLO Publications Committee.

The new members of the Board of Directors will begin their terms on July 1. Bob Chen will serve as President-Elect until July 2028, when he will transition to the role of President. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the outgoing board members who conclude their terms of service at the end of June. First, I would like to thank Pat Glibert, who is rotating off the Board at the conclusion of her term as Past President.
