As a deep-sea explorer and marine biologist, Dr. Cherisse Du Preez studies animals living on the seafloor far below the sunlit surface. She uses underwater cameras to document previously unexplored environments and the animals that call them home (many new to science). She is particularly fond of using Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) to map and … Continued
Dr. Chris Galley is a Postdoctoral Fellow for Dr. Mark Hannington’s research group at the University of Ottawa. Dr. Galley studies ancient and modern hydrothermal systems to better understand the fundamental geologic controls on the formation of seafloor massive sulfide deposits and their ancient equivalents, volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits. His work is accomplished primarily through … Continued
