It is no secret that for many this is a time of increased demands with little return in the way of reward. Yet, as cliché as it might be, spotlighting excellence and significance in achievement in others is an effective way to combat burnout and frustration. Nominating a colleague for an award through ASLO is a significant gesture with numerous benefits. It offers an opportunity to publicly recognize and celebrate an exceptional contribution to science and promote novel work on a broader platform. In addition, a nomination can be a mechanism that strengthens professional relationships and networks, as it often involves gathering letters of support and testimonials from other experts in the field. This process can lead to valuable connections and collaborations that benefit both the nominator and their colleague. Finally nominating a colleague fosters a culture of appreciation and support within ASLO, encouraging members to actively engage in recognizing excellence and inspiring future generations of aquatic scientists.
The nomination season for the ASLO awards is open and we would like to encourage you to nominate your peers for one of the following awards. ASLO awards provide opportunities to recognize outstanding individual performance at different career levels, for outstanding publications, and to highlight accomplishments and service to the aquatic science research community and beyond. ASLO currently has nine awards:
For further information and to access the nomination form, please visit the ASLO website (https://www.aslo.org/aslo-awards) and Wickland and Pollard (2019)—“The ASLO Awards Program Primer: How it Works, Historical Trends, and How You Can Get Involved.”

<p>The year 2023 was characterized by an overall membership decrease. As of 31 December 2023, there were 3047 ASLO members. This is a drop of 117 (−3.7%) people since 2022 and continues a 3 year consecutive decline such that 2023 had the lowest membership since 1984. All membership categories either lost numbers or remained unchanged, except Early Career (+15 numbers, +2.8% relative to 2022). The gain in Early Career members helped offset the 2022 loss (−147) within that category.

Nearly half (49%) of those who joined were students, and our European membership rose by an impressive 12% relative to 2022 (Fig. 1) from the 2023 ASM being held in Mallorca, Spain. In fact, the United States' proportional membership dipped <50% for the first time in ASLO's history, underscoring the international importance of our Society. While North America (USA + Canada + Mexico) remains the majority (55.9%) of members, other regions (≥1% of membership) included Africa (3%), Asia (18%), Central and South America (3%), the Middle East (1%), and Oceana (3%). The United States had the highest total numbers, followed by Canada, Germany, Spain, Japan, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Spain's membership increased by 120% (119 members in 2023) as the ASM host country. However, renewals decreased (−25.9%) such that each membership category had fewer renewals than 2022.

In 2023, 83% shared their gender identity as male (51%), female (48%), nonbinary (0.5%), and preferred not to say (<0.5%).

2023年的特点是会员总数减少。截至2023年12月31日，ASLO有3047个成员。自2022年以来，这一数字下降了117人（- 3.7%），并且连续三年下降，其中2023年的会员人数是自1984年以来最低的。所有会员类别要么人数减少，要么保持不变，但早期职业（较2022年增加15人，增长2.8%）除外。早期职业会员的增加帮助抵消了该类别在2022年的损失（- 147）。然而，会员类别的分布保持相当一致，分别是普通会员（39%）、学生会员（30%）、早期职业会员（18%）和荣誉会员（5%）。其他类型的会员（生活等）占我们总会员/类别的5%。尽管总人数有所下降，但ASLO在新会员方面取得了令人兴奋的进展。在2023年，ASLO迎来了1050人加入我们的社会，比2022年的新成员大幅增加（+581,+123.9%）。近一半（49%）的参与者是学生，与在西班牙马略卡岛举行的2023年ASM相比，我们的欧洲会员人数较2022年增长了12%（图1）。事实上，美国的会员比例在ASLO历史上首次下降了50%，凸显了我们协会的国际重要性。虽然北美（美国+加拿大+墨西哥）仍然是大多数成员（55.9%），但其他地区（成员比例≥1%）包括非洲（3%）、亚洲（18%）、中南美洲（3%）、中东（1%）和大洋洲（3%）。美国的总人数最多，其次是加拿大、德国、西班牙、日本、瑞典和英国。作为ASM的东道国，西班牙的成员数量增加了120%（2023年为119个成员）。然而，续订量下降（- 25.9%），使得每个会员类别的续订量都少于2022年。留存率为63.1%，低于前一年的76%。关于成员组成，（80%）将他们的主要科学领域描述为海洋学（44%），湖沼学（30%），海洋学和湖沼学（26%），与去年相似，湖沼学（- 1%）和两者（+1%）之间的交换为1%。成员们继续将自己描述为多学科，包括生物学（2141）、化学（1007）、地质学（298）、光学（188）和/或物理学（408）。2023年，83%的人认为自己的性别认同是男性（51%）、女性（48%）、非二元（0.5%），以及不愿说（<0.5%）。这导致自ASLO开始询问性别认同以来，认为自己是女性的人所占比例最高。总之，尽管ASLO的会员数量一直在下降，但我们的多样性正在增加。ASM对地理范围产生了积极影响，特别是在我们的欧洲成员国中。我们必须确定针对每个会员类别的策略，并增加我们对常规会员（例如，中期职业+）的关注。ASLO一直在讨论一些想法，比如改进网络，为短期和长期加入ASLO的人实施会员福利/认可。ASLO的董事会将继续探索我们可以增加多样性的方法，我们欢迎您的想法。董事会对ASLO的长期发展轨迹仍持乐观态度。请伸出手来，了解你可以积极参与我们美好社会的多种方式（出版物、委员会、网络研讨会、外展活动等）。我希望明年三月在北卡罗来纳州的夏洛特见到大家。Dianne I.

However, I wasn't sure that would make sense and feared I'd lose readers early on. Thankfully, ASLO has a strong history of peaceful transitions in elected office and I am sure everything will be historically accurate by the time you read this. So let's all pretend it's the future for the remainder of this message. If you wish to skip reading the rest of this piece, my main message is to ask for your feedback.

在我写这篇文章的时候，我们正处于2024年6月的最后几周，董事会成员即将换届。我最初的想法是把这篇文章命名为“回到未来”，因为我正在写一封“来自总统”的信，而实际上我是当选总统。然而，我不确定这是否有意义，并担心我一开始就会失去读者。值得庆幸的是，ASLO在民选办公室的和平过渡方面有着悠久的历史，我相信当你读到这篇文章时，一切都将是历史准确的。所以让我们都假设这是这条信息的未来。如果你想跳过这篇文章的其余部分，我的主要信息是征求你的反馈。请传达您的需求和愿望，说明ASLO如何支持您，如果您有能力，请加入ASLO的众多志愿者；志愿者在各个层面都扮演着不同的角色。我衷心感谢即将离任的董事会成员Ajit Subramanian、Amina Pollard、Manda Kambikambi和前任主席Roxane Maranger，他们为带领ASLO度过疫情付出了巨大努力。我欢迎并祝贺新董事会成员Alia Benedict， Rita Franco-Santos, Kateri Salk，当选总统Paul del Giorgio，并感谢Dianne Greenfield继续担任ASLO秘书，负责会员和记录的关键角色。我要特别感谢和感谢那些参加了选举但没有服务的人。我期待着代表全球水生科学家与你们所有人一起工作，无论多么咸，新鲜或泥泞。我们的ASLO是领先的国际水生科学协会，支持全球社区的专职科学家。我们共同促进对水生环境的理解、发现以及可持续和公平的管理。ASLO的独特之处在于它提供了与全球不同的水生科学家合作的机会。ASLO成员及其科学能力是解决许多紧迫的环境危机的关键，其中一些是全球性的。人类通过利用科学知识、确定共同目标和合作克服了环境威胁。我们正在看到由此产生的成功。扭转大气臭氧浓度下降的趋势，恢复鲸鱼和鸟类的数量，以及通过跨国保护协定保护大片海洋和陆地地区，这些只是少数例子。这些成就是建立在可靠的科学和为共同目标而合作的敬业的个人的坚实基础上的。令人遗憾的是，仍然存在许多挑战。ASLO成员是共同应对这些挑战的完美社区，我真诚地希望ASLO可以帮助您在重要工作中尽可能有效和有影响力，无论是基础科学还是应用科学，教育还是包括工业，政府或军队在内的许多其他部门。让我们知道我们能帮上什么忙！在威斯康星州麦迪逊举行的水生科学会议（ASM 2024）刚刚结束，来自至少39个国家的750多名参与者分享伟大的科学，与社区联系，并享受在一起的快感仍然挥之不去。ASLO会议取得了巨大的成功，这次也不例外。会议充满了杰出的海报和演讲，包括我们当之无愧的获奖者和鼓舞人心的全体会议演讲者。有尖端的科学报告，热闹的晚间招待会，充满活力的海报会议，以及许多专业研讨会和市政厅，以满足会员的需求。无法用数字来衡量的是，在ASLO派对上，每个人都随着乐队现场表演的“Love train”跳舞（我有照片！），喝着“土豆泥马汀尼”（图1），通过高热量和碳水化合物含量来传递他们的能量，这是纯粹的乐趣。重新联系的人们兴致勃勃，热情高涨，其中包括出席晚间招待会的优秀人员，穿着配套的夏威夷衬衫出现的整个大型实验室，令人惊叹的会议中心，以及有机会见到的许多新老朋友。ASLO会议是如此成功，因为它是ASLO工作人员之间的合作，由执行董事Teresa Curto领导，我们的业务办公室，现在由Bostrom的Mik Bauer领导，会议委员会和董事会提前几年计划会议的各个方面，从促进会议场地，组织和结构。我们的成员做出了很大的贡献，包括由Grace Wilkerson和Jake Vander Zanden领导的科学组织委员会，他们为ASM 2024做了很多有意义的会议和活动。会议主持人通过设计会议，使我们的社区能够展示、观察和讨论最新的科学，做出了重要的贡献。一旦与会者到达参加开幕酒会，魔术就完成了。如果没有这些热心的志愿者，ASLO将一事无成。 ASLO当然是一个非营利性组织，会议或出版物产生的任何收入都用于维持ASLO的运行，并提供ASLO提供的会议之外的许多会员福利，包括学生旅行奖励、餐饮接待、实质性出版物折扣、专业发展和个人福祉研讨会等等。重要的是，如果你知道你想要获得的会员福利，请建议他们！除了出色的会议外，ASLO的出版物在主编、副主编和副主编的得力领导下也脱颖而出。随着Paul Kemp的退休（是的，倒气了），我们欢迎Krista Longnecker成为新的总编辑，这是一场竞争激烈的公开搜索。我们的出版物也依赖于ASLO成员的志愿服务，我向所有出色的审稿人致以衷心的感谢，尽管他们在时间上有相当多的其他要求。在《L&；O》担任副主编多年后，我印象最深的就是那些出色的评论。很明显，匿名审稿人经常花费数小时的时间来使手稿尽可能地完美。我也有过论文被拒的经历，我意识到反馈并不总是受欢迎的。鉴于我处理手稿的样本量非常大，L&；O审稿人的慷慨和敬业在我的脑海中闪耀着最明亮的光芒。ASLO期刊对深思熟虑和建设性评论的高标准显然也是作者注意到的（Cloern 2023）。我注意到我们（以及每一个）社区明显存在的疲劳。此外，志愿服务要求一个人有足够的资源和支持性的工作和家庭生活，使他能够承担ASLO服务所涉及的任务。为避免利益冲突，ASLO的政策是不向志愿者支付报酬，尽管有些服务的旅费是有偿的。然而，依赖自我认同的志愿者的一个后果是，ASLO志愿者的组成远没有理想的多样化。尽管ASLO致力于多元化，但我们还有很长的路要走。我在之前的一篇l&o Bulletin文章（Menden-Deuer 2022和其中的参考文献）中详细写过这一点。作为ASLO主席，我将继续致力于支持正义、公平、多样性和包容性。最近的一期《海洋学》特刊，由我们的姊妹学会《海洋学学会》（TOS）出版，是一本关于问题和机会的全面指南（Kappel et al. 2023）。我已经与TOS领导层和他们的委员会建立了联系，以便我们能够在这项重要的努力上进行合作。我将与董事会合作，继续提供现有的努力来支持会员并使我们的会员多样化，例如通过在线会议空间进行网络交流、技能培养、专业发展和福祉网络研讨会。我们也将寻找新的和额外的方式来支持和服务我们的会员，我们很乐意听到你的想法。这是我们从事成员的奉献精神，保持ASLO运行和水生科学充满活力。在过去十年中，ASLO经历了三个主要变化：(1)更换期刊出版商（2015年），(2)抵御疫情（2020年影响持续），以及(3)更换管理我们业务办公室的协会管理公司（2023年）。这些变化分别是由于出版物格局的变化、空气传播的病毒和我们长期业务经理海伦·施耐德的退休所必需的。虽然这些变化可能会对ASLO产生负面影响，但有能力的领导，敬业的员工，以及参与成员的努力，使ASLO变得更加强大，比以往任何时候都更强大，包括在财务上。ASLO是有弹性的，我们将共同确保它保持这种状态。这些变化中的第一个，即由Wiley作为我们的出版商，对ASLO作为一个组织和个人成员都非常有益，因为我们现在与一家拥有相当专业知识和资源的国际出版社合作。这种伙伴关系将帮助我们导航未来，包括开放获取出版，对我们的收入产生不确定的影响，以及潜在的人工智能

Freshwater ecosystems face ever increasing environmental and ecological challenges. Recognition of those challenges is not new—over 30 years ago, a series of workshops convened to develop a research agenda (The Freshwater Imperative) to address those challenges. It was recognized that a critical component of solving the problems that freshwater ecosystems face would require greater interdisciplinary collaboration. Here, we discuss the context for the “Revisiting the Freshwater Imperative” workshop and describe how a small-workshop model can be used effectively to seed longer term collaborative partnerships in support of meeting the challenges freshwater ecosystems face. Some key recommendations include: (1) engage with participants prior to the workshop to maximize efficient use of time and prime divergence-convergence thinking; (2) promote a bottom-up participant driven structure; (2) develop an agenda with enough flexibility to accommodate participant driven changes (i.e., a “live” agenda); (3) utilize best practices for facilitating team science; and (4) provide coordinating structure for post-workshop working group activities.

一项相关研究正在探索日益增加的物候极端现象，如春季解冻，如何影响重要生态过程的时间，以及进化出对这些线索做出反应的生物如何努力跟上。对湖泊微生物群落的研究指出了它们在湖泊生态中的重要性，以及它们如何影响藻类繁殖和缺氧等现象。我们还在所有七大洲进行研究。例如，目前cfl主导的项目涉及蒙古淡水渔业、南极高盐湖泊和极地湿地的甲烷通量。CFL最大的研究项目是国家科学基金会资助的北温带湖泊长期生态研究（NTL-LTER）项目。自1982年以来，NTL-LTER已经监测了11个湖泊，其中4个在威斯康星州南部，7个在北部。LTER的工作人员全年都在这些湖泊上编制数据集，从水化学到鱼类种群再到冰盖。LTER数据使研究人员能够提出并回答有关温带湖泊如何应对全球变暖、土地利用变化等重大问题。由于cfl领导的环境数据倡议（https://edirepository.org/）.Since)， LTER数据对各地的研究人员都是开放的，并且可以访问。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的早期研究表明，人类在陆地上的活动如何对周围水域产生影响。我们在城市和农业流域以及欠发达的森林流域的独特定位，使CFL的研究人员能够研究所有类型的湖泊，更好地了解富营养化和缺氧背后的力量，以及入侵物种和海岸线发展的影响。我们也致力于将科学付诸实践。除此之外，CFL的研究还为威斯康星州自然资源部（DNR）的渔业管理决策、威斯康星州南部流域的农业保护实践以及该州入侵物种管理工作提供了信息。此外，在一个州的首府城市的国际排名的研究机构，允许跨科学学科和组织合作。CFL与威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的微生物学、土木与环境工程等部门的同事以及威斯康星自然灾害管理局和美国地质调查局等政府机构的同事一起参与了研究项目。我们还经常与国际团队合作，CFL的教师在全球湖泊生态观测站网络（https://gleon.org/）和RAM全球渔业资源评估遗留数据库等项目中发挥重要作用。CFL还参与了新的科学仪器的开发，比如快速湖泊自动测量系统，这是一种工具，可以让研究人员在船在水中快速行驶时对湖泊进行实时测量。除了作为湖沼学研究的领导者，湖沼学中心还致力于培养下一代水生研究人员。作为综合生物系的教授，CFL教授在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校教授许多本科课程。例子包括“湖沼学：水生资源保护”和“鱼类生态学”。这两门课程都有强大的实验组成部分，包括门多塔湖、鳟鱼湖和其他周围水体的实地训练。“湖沼学：水生资源保护”是美国规模最大、开设时间最长的本科湖沼学课程。它招收了大约150名学生，自1908年以来一直在运行。除了课堂和实验室为基础的教育机会，CFL每年通过暑期工作机会和奖学金为数十名本科生提供实践和实地培训。CFL的研究生通常隶属于淡水和海洋科学研究生项目（http://fms.wisc.edu/），这是一个跨学科的研究生培训项目，为对淡水和海洋生态系统科学感兴趣的学生提供硕士和博士学位。全年，研究生都有CFL专门的研究生水平的研讨会和课程，如动物学750，传奇的萨佩洛岛（佐治亚州）实地课程，这已经成为CFL研究生50多年的仪式。在湖沼学中心，非常强调与非科学受众分享科学。我们对社区参与和推广有着坚定的承诺，并有一些专门的项目源于这一承诺。CFL的研究人员在当地非政府组织的科学顾问委员会任职，经常被要求向政策制定者介绍湖泊保护工作。十多年来，我们在威斯康辛州北部的Science on Tap-Minocqua科学咖啡馆系列吸引了很多人到当地的机构来听生态研究。 鳟鱼湖站全年都有一些艺术家的驻地，包括“画水”，这是一个通过与我们的北温带湖泊长期生态研究项目和对与更广泛的观众分享我们的科学的新方式感兴趣的地区艺术家合作创作的艺术巡回展览。全年，CFL研究人员为当地学校团体、社区组织和湖泊协会做报告，每年夏天，我们为夏令营团体和其他团体提供门多塔湖的实地考察。我们还在我们的两个实验室举办年度开放日，每年夏天我们向公众开放一个下午。这两项开放日活动每年平均有300-400名游客。欲了解更多关于在湖沼学中心攻读研究生或与湖沼学中心合作的信息，请访问https://limnology.wisc.edu/。

<p>Winter lake ice presents unique challenges to limnological research and science outreach. Unfortunately, few aquatic scientists are trained for limnological work on frozen lakes, including ice safety, operating standard limnological gear in subzero temperatures, collecting samples from under snow and ice, or even dressing for the cold, windy, and wet conditions winter limnologists routinely encounter. This gap in training has slowed progress in understanding the responses of seasonally freezing aquatic ecosystems to climate change.</p><p>The Winter Limnology Network is a new project supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation to develop a network of winter-ready aquatic researchers with the goal of advancing understanding of year-round ecosystem function in the face of climate change. The research uses a team science approach, welcoming participation from researchers who want to engage in paired winter-summer sampling. It builds on the “Ecology Under Lake Ice” project and networks developed at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, a 2019 AGU Chapman conference, and an ongoing Winter Limnology working group in the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network. The Winter Limnology Network investigators are actively collaborating with another NSF-supported winter limnology project—the “Thin Ice” group (Rebecca North, Isabella Oleksy, Meredith Holgerson, David Richardson, Mindy Morales).</p><p>To help build capacity for winter research, the Winter Limnology Network kicked off their work with a “Winter School” event in March 2024. Twenty-two early career limnologists and the Winter Limnology Network lead team gathered at the University of Wisconsin–Madison's Trout Lake Station for a comprehensive winter limnology training workshop. Participants conducted hands-on winter field research, and contributed to discussions about team science and science communication and outreach. Attendees included graduate students, postdocs, pretenure faculty, and practicing conservation scientists from the US and Canada.</p><p>The workshop was planned for mid-March to ensure adequate ice conditions in the Wisconsin Northwoods. Recorded since 1982, the average ice-off date for Trout Lake is April 25th. However, the strong El Niño–Southern Oscillation winter of 2024 brought with it mild temperatures and snow-drought, and left the group with one final week of strong ice before the ice thawed in early April. This early thaw, compounded with the latest freeze date on record, marks 2023–2024 as one of the shortest ice durations since 1982. Abnormal ice conditions are unfortunately becoming more common, which stresses the need for adequate training on safe ice practices.</p><p>The workshop began with a full day of ice safety training led by professional ice safety instructors who normally work with first responders (Fig. 1). Participants learned about managing risks while working on ice, assessing ice conditions, helping others in distress, and self-

Twenty-two early career limnologists and the Winter Limnology Network lead team gathered at the University of Wisconsin–Madison's Trout Lake Station for a comprehensive winter limnology training workshop. Participants conducted hands-on winter field research, and contributed to discussions about team science and science communication and outreach. Attendees included graduate students, postdocs, pretenure faculty, and practicing conservation scientists from the US and Canada.</p><p>The workshop was planned for mid-March to ensure adequate ice conditions in the Wisconsin Northwoods. Recorded since 1982, the average ice-off date for Trout Lake is April 25th. However, the strong El Niño–Southern Oscillation winter of 2024 brought with it mild temperatures and snow-drought, and left the group with one final week of strong ice before the ice thawed in early April. This early thaw, compounded with the latest freeze date on record, marks 2023–2024 as one of the shortest ice durations since 1982. Abnormal ice conditions are unfortunately becoming more common, which stresses the need for adequate training on safe ice practices.</p><p>The workshop began with a full day of ice safety training led by professional ice safety instructors who normally work with first responders (Fig. 1). Participants learned about managing risks while working on ice, assessing ice conditions, helping others in distress, and self-","PeriodicalId":40008,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin","volume":"33 3","pages":"132-133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/lob.10643","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140972178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
<p>The US National Science Foundation's (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (or REUs) are months-long, full-time, experiential learning programs run by host institutions within the United States—such as Universities, National Laboratories, museums, and others—where undergraduate students are given the opportunity to learn from and work alongside faculty and/or researchers on specific projects. This offers aspiring researchers paid, hands-on experience in their fields of interest from earlier stages in their scientific careers. REUs also facilitate networking interactions, exposure to the research process, and access to state-of-the-art equipment for passionate and hardworking individuals. The REU programs seek to recruit applications from students who attend institutions that do not offer research internships, who come from minoritized populations, or who otherwise would have a greater difficulty accessing these opportunities.</p><p>A longitudinal survey of student participation in the OCE REU sites carried out by NSF's Geosciences Directorate annually since 2009 has provided insight into the changes in the demographic composition of REU student cohorts that occurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
