Person: Peter Schroedl

Peter Schroedl is a PhD candidate in the Marlow Lab at Boston University. He has conducted experiments to investigate microbes from the benthic ocean up to the stratosphere. The three chapters of his thesis study microbe-mineral interactions at terrestrial volcanoes, seafloor methane seeps along continental margins, and deep-sea polymetallic nodule fields. Before joining the Marlow … Continued

Person: Erin Frates

Erin Frates is a PhD candidate and NSF Graduate Research Fellow at Boston University. Her research strives to link microbial diversity, cellular activity, and geochemistry along the seafloor, with a profound interest in chemosynthetic environments. During the expedition, Frates will characterize the microbial ecology at cold seeps and hydrothermal vents. Ultimately, she aims to clarify … Continued
