Soobum Bae holds a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Texas at Austin, and a master of engineering degree in Ocean Engineering from Texas A&M University. With Dr. Socolofsky and Dr. Wang’s advice, Soobum’s research focuses on development of comprehensive understanding and knowledge about the near-field behavior of bubble plumes in different characteristics … Continued
Dr. Kristen Fauria is a postdoctoral scholar at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Kristen studies the physics of geological flows that contain multiple phases: for example density currents that contain both gases and particles. At WHOI Kristen is using observations, experiments, and theory to understand how volcanic eruption columns and plumes spread material in the … Continued
Daniel Hoer is a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University where his research centers on the biogeochemistry of seafloor hydrothermal vent and cold seep systems. He’s particularly interested in how mega- and micro-faunal communities modulate dissolved chemical flux. His work involves a focus on the development of new methods and technologies to facilitate addressing intractable questions. … Continued
Anna Michel has BS degrees in Chemical Engineering and Biology and an MS in Ocean Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She has a PhD in Mechanical and Oceanographic Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Joint Program. After her PhD, Anna completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton … Continued
Veronique Oldham is currently a Post-doctoral Scholar at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Veronique received her Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at the University of Toronto, and a PhD in Oceanography working with Dr. Luther at the University of Delaware. Her current oceanographic research unites two strands of biogeochemical inquiry: the impacts of changing redox conditions on … Continued
Abby Keller is a research assistant in Erik Cordes’ lab at Temple University, and she will be studying deep-sea coral and other members of the macro-faunal community at the Cascadia margin to understand how the methane seep is supporting life at various trophic levels. She graduated from Haverford College in 2017, and she has spent … Continued
On our last night at sea, I spread my artwork across the two long tables in the library. In a few minutes, members of the science party and crew will file into the room to browse through my work and ask questions about my creative process. I am excited for the opportunity to explain why … Continued
“We can apply these technologies and innovate much further to better understand what is actually happening at the microscopic level in these anoxic zones of the ocean.” – Dr. Andrew Babbin. As the #MicrOMZs expedition nears its end, learn what data was gathered, what the researchers learned, and how this cutting-edge technology is advancing our … Continued
Summarizing a cruise is one of the most difficult duties of a Chief Scientist. I could distill all our work down to a slew of metrics—over 600 chemical analyses for pH, nutrients, and dissolved gases, 312 CTD casts, eight incubator deployments, 325 deck board experiments, and 216 liters of filtered sea water. All told, we … Continued
As the CTD rises out of the water, we line up in the hallway, donning life jackets and ensuring all of our bottles are properly labeled and ready for samples. We watch Lead Marine Technician Leighton Rolley secure the CTD and wait for the signal that it is safe for us to enter the starboard … Continued
