Professor Susanne Menden-Deuer has been elected ASLO Fellow as part of their inaugural class. The Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) Fellows program was initiated in 2015 to honor ASLO members who have advanced the aquatic sciences via their exceptional contributions to the benefit of the society and its publications, meetings, and other activities. The inaugural class is being honored for their commitment and service to ASLO that has enabled the society to advance the sciences of limnology and oceanography. The 2015 ASLO Fellows will be honored at the ASLO Meeting in Santa Fe in June 2016. This is a tremendous honor for Susanne and her work reflects very highly on GSO.
