Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography

The Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, ASLO short, is an international professional society, the science of limnology and oceanography dedicated to. The company was founded in 1948 from the merger of the Limnological Society of America and the Oceanographic Society of the Pacific. By 2011 the company's name Limnology and Oceanography American Society for was. The name change to Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography international membership structure should be emphasized and at the same time the established acronym ASLO be maintained (about 25% non-US members at the time).

The company now comprises some 4,000 members from about 60 countries, making it the largest company of limnology or oceanography or the two areas dedicated to the same. Your substantive goal is to provide the international framework knowledge of aquatic ecosystems, ie the internal waters and the seas, to integrate knowledge and to promote the exchange of information.
