The A.G. Huntsman
Award was established in 1980 by the Canadian
marine science community to recognize excellence
of research and outstanding contributions to
marine sciences. The award honours marine
scientists of any nationality who have had and
continue to have a significant influence on the
course of marine scientific thought. It is
presented annually in one of three categories:
- marine geosciences
- physical/chemical oceanography
- biological oceanography and fisheries
science
The Award is named in honour of
Archibald Gowanlock Huntsman (1883–1973), a
pioneer Canadian oceanographer and fishery
biologist.
The A.G. Huntsman Award, a
specially-designed and engraved sterling silver
medal, is presented by the Royal Society of
Canada during a ceremony at the Bedford Institute
of Oceanography. As well, the recipient delivers
a distinguished lecture in his or her field of
specialty.
