A.C. Redfield Lifetime Achievement Award
The Lifetime Achievement Award was first presented in 1994 to honor major long-term achievements in the fields of limnology and oceanography, including research, education and service to the community and society. In 2004, the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography Board renamed the award in honor of Alfred C. Redfield.

| 2009 | Peter J. LeB. Williams | "For his outstanding contributions to our understanding of oceanic productivity, carbon cycling and metabolic balance and for his role in shaping current views on the importance of microbial processes in the oceans" |
| 2010 | James F. Kitchell | "For field-changing contributions in the areas of fish ecology and fisheries, trophic dynamics, and understanding the role of fish in aquatic ecosystems." |
| 2011 | Frederick Grassle | "For fundamental discoveries in deep sea ecology, visionary leadership of marine sciences, selfless community service, and groundbreaking technical innovations that will shape oceanography for decades to come." |
| 2012 | Winfried Lampert and Maciej Gliwicz | "For their outstanding individual and collaborative research, which has laid the foundations for our current understanding of phytoplankton-zooplankton interactions, trophic ecology of zooplankton, and evolutionary relationships in freshwater ecosystems." |
| 2013 | Bruce J. Peterson | "For innovative and transformative studies of carbon, nutrient and water cycles at process, ecosystem and global scales." |
| 2014 | Gene E. Likens | "For his extraordinary long-term contributions to the fields of limnology and oceanography–including research, education, and service within and beyond the aquatic sciences community." |
| 2015 | David Schindler | "For his unfaltering record of revolutionary limnological research that addressed the most important aquatic environmental issues of our time." |
| 2016 | Evelyn Sherr and Barry Sherr | "For their lifetime research on food-web interactions, protists, and the factors controlling the activity, growth, and survival of aquatic microorganisms." |
| 2017 | Bo Barker Jørgensen | "For fundamental contributions to unraveling the ecology and biogeochemical interactions of microbes in environments ranging from surface sediments to the deep biosphere." |
| 2018 | Lisa Levin | "For her extraordinary long-term contributions to understanding the composition and function of seafloor ecosystems, and for her leadership in identifying and communicating anthropogenic pressures on aquatic ecosystems, with relevance to policies for sustainable and healthy seas." |
gollark: Eeeh, sure, I guess.
gollark: I mean "respectable", sure, but I just don't really trust Google.
gollark: I'm not entirely sure how to put it, but I just don't really think that Google should go around doing this sort of thing.
gollark: I'm kind of hesitant to have google taking over the internet.
gollark: Because it's a rather generic one.
