Casey is a mechanical engineer for Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and for this cruise will serve as expedition leader for the Nereus team. In this role Casey is responsible for the coordination of the Nereus team as well as interaction with the scientists to ensure Nereus is able to provide a useful platform from which … Continued
I am a PhD candidate in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Woods Hole Oceanographic Joint Program in Chemical Oceanography, where I study the organic, inorganic and volatile chemistry of deep-sea hydrothermal vent fluids. I am particularly interested in carbon system reactions in ultraslow-spreading hydrothermal systems, and the effect of great depth on the transport of metals, … Continued
Cody is a newcomer to the field of deep-ocean microbiology. As a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Dr. Gregory Dick, he and his lab cohorts seek to understand how microorganisms living in the deep ocean interact with hydrothermal plumes as they rise from the sea floor. The diversity of the deep-ocean microbiome is remarkable, … Continued

I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the MARUM Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen, Germany. My research is focused on the biogeochemistry of seafloor hydrothermal systems, specifically the organic and inorganic chemistry of vent fluids and deposits. In 2012 I took part in the R/V Atlantis (AT18-16) expedition, where the Von Damm … Continued

Ko-ichi studies marine geology including hydrothermal and gas hydrate sites in various settings. Subseafloor fluid emission makes variety of geologic phenomena on the seafloor as well as variety of chemical and biological process in the water column. He joined the first 2009 expedition in the Cayman Trough utilizing HROV Nereus on the Cape Haterras with … Continued
Dr. Cindy Lee Van Dover is a deep-sea biologist with an interest in the ecology of chemosynthetic ecosystems. She began her work in this field in 1982, joining the first biological expedition to hydrothermal vents on the East Pacific Rise. After earning a Master’s degree in ecology from UCLA in 1985, she continued her graduate … Continued
Max looks for Life outside the Earth. His research focuses on identification of minerals that formed as result of, or in the presence of, biological activity and developing instruments that could detect them. He is on the expedition because he is a card carrying ASTROBIOLOGIST and the Mid-Cayman Trough location is the best terrestrial analogue … Continued
