We are very sad to pass on the news that Kristina Gjerde passed away last week. She was a long-standing member of the JETZON Steering Committee and an invaluable source of encouragement and advice, particularly in our ongoing attempts to engage with policy. She always brought insightful, positive suggestions to JETZON, strongly supporting ways to broaden access and engagement. She will be much missed both by JETZON and by the wider ocean community.

DOSI have put together an article paying tribute to Kristina which ably does the difficult job of capturing many of the important contributions that Kristina made to our field: https://www.dosi-project.org/in-memoriam-kristina-gjerde/
