For that purpose, we organise with the teams of conveners the ocean science part of the program of the scientific conference that his held every year during the EGU General Assembly. We give special attention to topics cross-cutting with those of other divisions. We recognise deserving colleagues in various stages of their careers with our Award program: the division awards the Fritdjof Nansen Medal to mid or full career scientists and the Outstanding Early Career Scientists Award for researchers in the early stages of their careers. We also award prizes to outstanding student posters at every General Assembly. The division maintains very strong links with the EGU Publications Committee, and especially with the board of editors of the open access journal Ocean Science (OS). The division also collaborates with other EGU committees in the organisation of relevant topical conferences and summer schools.</p> <div class="headline"> <h2>Latest posts from the OS blog</h2> </div> <article class="media"> <div class="media-body"> <a class="h4 external" href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/os/2025/01/14/embark-on-an-auditory-scientific-adventure-to-the-south-pole/">Embark on an Auditory Scientific Adventure to the South Pole!</a> <ul class="list-inline mt-1"> <li class="list-inline-item"><i class="fab fa-fw fa-wordpress"></i> <a class="external" href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/os/">Ocean Sciences</a></li> <li class="list-inline-item"><i class="far fa-fw fa-calendar-plus"></i> posted 2 months ago</li> </ul> <p>Alongside SUNNA, an oceanographic robot as daring as it is curious, you will dive into a frozen and hostile environment to uncover its secrets.
