Julie Huber is a Senior Scientist in the Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Department at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Director of COBRA (Crustal Ocean Biosphere Research Accelerator). She studies microbial life in deep-sea crustal ocean habitats, including hydrothermal vents, seamounts, and volcanoes. These microbes provide critical ecosystem services such as primary production to sustain deep-sea food webs, nutrient and element recycling, carbon sequestration, and symbiotic relationships with diverse animals. Julie has led and participated in ocean expeditions around the world using deep submergence technology. She is also passionate about communicating the wonders of science, the ocean, microbes, & more to many audiences while advocating and creating opportunities for people around the world to participate in ocean science and engineering.
