Charles Lapointe is a graduate student and member of the Jamieson Marine Geology Laboratory at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John’s, Canada. His M.Sc. project focuses on the geology of seafloor hydrothermal systems and the mapping of associated deposits. To this end, he applies a variety of mineralogical, geochemical, and geochronological tools to rock … Continued
Sarah Moriarty is a PhD candidate at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Sarah utilizes stable isotopes as a tool to constrain sub-seafloor fluid/rock interactions affecting hydrothermal fluid cycling and associated seafloor massive sulfide deposit formation at submarine hydrothermal vent sites from various geological settings. Previously she received her M.Sc. in Earth Sciences from Memorial, as well … Continued
Dr. Sheryl Murdock is a postdoctoral researcher at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences where she currently studies the role of microbes in nitrous oxide cycling in marine oxygen minimum zones. She is a microbial ecologist who dabbles in geochemistry and studies various aspects of microbial involvement in ecosystems, ranging from nutrient and elemental cycling … Continued
Brendan Smith is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Oceanography at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, supervised by Dr. David Barclay. His research is focused on the use of passive acoustics to detect and monitor hydrothermal vents. Given the efficient propagation of sound underwater, passive acoustics can potentially be used to detect new vent … Continued
