IAPSO: Mar Benavides (MIO/CYBELE) awarded the 2019 Early Career Scientist Medal - Ocean Chemical Sciences Section
La IAPSO medal for early career scientists honours early-career scientists for outstanding research in the physical or chemical sciences of the oceans, and for cooperation in international research. The IAPSO Early Career Scientist Medal is awarded every two years by the IAPSO President at the bi-annual IAPSO Assembly, during which the recipient is invited to make a presentation on a scientific topic of their choice.
Mar Benavides, a researcher at the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD), Institut océanographique méditerranéen, Marseille, France, is the winner of the 2019 IAPSO Early Career Scientist Medal in Chemical Oceanography. The award is given in recognition of her development of original strategies, integrating disciplines, to introduce an innovative and comprehensive oceanographic approach to nitrogen cycle research.
