In an effort to pay tribute to the monarch and eminent oceanographer whose passion for the sea was, and is well know, the City Council of Cascais, through the King D. Carlos Sea Museum, created the King D. Carlos Sea Prize, which has been awarded since 1995. The Prize contemplates the publication of scientific texts of great quality and innovation, many unknown by the public at large, thereby acknowledging and promoting research undertaken by Portuguese researchers and scientists. In this perspective, and starting with the 15th edition of the Prize (2009), significant changes have been introduced in the rules of the Prize: 1) The two main scientific areas in competition, identified below, will be contemplated in alternate years: - Maritime History (from pre-historic to the present) - Life and Environment of the Oceans (in the field of marine biology and geology, as well as physics and biological oceanography, mainly in the area of ocean climatology and the problem of climate change) 2) Submission guidelines >>> DOWNLOAD SUBMISSION GUIDELINES HERE (Portuguese only) PRIZE RECIPIENTS:
