The recipient of the prize must under 46 years of age on 1 January 2016, and must have demonstrated his or her primary interest in Acoustical Oceanography through publications and oral presentations. The applicant or nominee need not be a member of the Acoustical Society of America. Award: The 2016 award consists of certificate and a $2,000 stipend.
