The Oceanography Society is a non-profit organization based in Rockville, Maryland, founded in 1988 to advance oceanography through research and education and to disseminate knowledge about the field and its applications. It also seeks to strengthen communication among oceanographers and to provide a framework for consensus-building across the diverse disciplines that comprise oceanography. In January 2026, the society named Professor Dr. Oliver Zielinski a Fellow, recognizing his sustained contributions to oceanography through scientific innovation, leadership, education, and service. The organization thus serves the oceanography community by supporting professional development and knowledge sharing within the field.
