UBC oceanographer named U.S. Sloan fellow

UBC oceanographer Stephanie Waterman has been selected as a 2015 Alfred Sloan Research Fellow and will receive $50,000 to further her research in physical oceanography. Recently, her research focus has been on the physics of the Arctic and Southern oceans. This summer, she will utilize a small, autonomous ocean glider to gather fine-grained environmental and physical measurements of Canada’s Arctic waters.

The two-year fellowship honours the achievements of outstanding young scholars in science, mathematics, economics and computer science in Canada and the U.S. Twenty UBC Science researchers have been awarded the fellowship since 1984. Click here for more information.
