Dr. Bill Peterson (born 1942) passed away on August 12, 2017 after having bravely faced cancer for the past three years. Bill was an oceanographer, marine biologist and climate scientist for NOAA, who most recently (since 1995) worked at the NOAA lab co-located in the Hatfield Marine Science Center complex (Newport, Oregon) as a senior scientist for more than 20 years. Prior to that, he worked for NOAA in Silver Spring, Maryland (1992-95), where he was the Program Manager of the US GLOBEC Program and Director of US GLOBEC Interagency Program Coordination Office. In 2016 he was awarded a Distinguished Career Award by NOAA and three times he was a NOAA Bronze Awardee (2004, 2005, 2008). Bill provided leadership and service to a number of national or international initiatives. These include the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), US GLOBEC, and Eastern Pacific Oceanography Conferences (EPOC). He also organized the first two annual workshops on “Ecology of Juvenile Salmonids in the Coastal Zone off the West Coast of North America” (1999 and 2000). To honor Bill, his friends and colleagues have organized a commemorative issue focusing on topics related to Dr. Peterson's interests in.
