CNC-SCOR Early Career Ocean Scientist Award (2019)

Distinction CNC-SCOR pour chercheur en début de carrière en océanographie (2019)

CNC-SCOR announced that the 2019 winner is Cathryn Clarke Murray from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Institute of Ocean Sciences.

Cathryn received her PhD in 2012 from the University of British Columbia, examining the role that recreational boating had in the introduction and spread of invasive species. She previously had received a BSc from the University of Calgary and an MSc from James Cook University in Australia. During and since her graduate work, Cathryn has developed a broad expertise in marine ecology and has taken on very difficult applied problems, including aquatic invasive species, cumulative effects and marine debris as a vector of invasion. She has worked successfully in academia, government and an international agency (PICES North Pacific Marine Science Organization). She has sustained a high rate of publication in solid peer reviewed journals. She has simultaneously maintained a high level of community service, both within the scientific community and through public outreach.

Note: This award was announced in July 2019, but not at the CMOS Awards Banquet
