Maren Voss studied Biology and Biological Oceanography in Kiel, Germany, at the Institute of Marine Research (today called GEOMAR). Her PhD was on carbon and nitrogen stable isotope signatures in sedimenting particles and how the history and processes of the upper water column are reflected in these data. To learn the specific analytical method for … Continued
Joseph Montoya is a biological oceanographer with research interests at the interface of biology and geochemistry. His lab specializes in studies of the marine nitrogen cycle and the role of N2-fixation (diazotrophy) in structuring the flow of nitrogen and energy through planktonic ecosystems. Much of his lab’s work has focused on N cycle processes in … Continued

Annalisa Bracco is a professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech. She is a physical oceanographer and her group’ research focuses on understanding the role of the ocean circulation in transporting and mixing physical and biogeochemical tracers at scales ranging from 100 m to ocean basins. She is particularly interested in linking physical processes to climate variability, biodiversity and … Continued
Ajit Subramaniam is a Lamont Research Professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, located in Palisades, New York. He has worked for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center in Charleston, SC, the University of Maryland in College Park, MD, and the University of Southern California in Los Angeles prior to … Continued
Miroslav Mirchev is one of Falkor’s Chief Engineers and is from Varna, Bulgaria.
Sean is a Research Associate at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. His research mainly focuses on novel approaches to measure the stable isotopes of light hydrocarbons found in hydrothermal vent fluids. On this cruise, he will be responsible for coordination and implementation of vent fluid sampling and chemical analysis. We will deploy … Continued
My role is to be physically present onboard the Falkor, creating artwork and collecting data for the team. I am capturing the experience digitally to document the transit, while using analog film to translate the unseen and often unpredictable forces of the sea. After the photos are captured, the roll of film is soaked in … Continued
Peter R. Girguis is a Professor in the Organismic and Evolutionary Biology Department at Harvard University, and an Adjunct Oceanographer in Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. He and the members of his lab study the ecology and physiology of marine microbes, including their role in gut microbiomes and in animal-microbial … Continued
