Katrina Jane Edwards heading the Fe-Oxidizing Microbial Observatory Project on a seamount the top of which is?
Katrina Edwards Katrina Jane Edwards (15 March 1968 - 26 October 2014) was a pioneering geomicrobiologist known for her studies of organisms living below the ocean floor, specifically exploring the interactions between the microbes and their geological surroundings, and how global processes were influenced by these interactions. She spearheaded the Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigation (C-DEBI) project at the University of Southern California, which is ongoing. Edwards also helped organize the deep biosphere research community by heading the Fe-Oxidizing Microbial Observatory Project on Loihi Seamount, and serving on several program steering committees involving ocean drilling. Edwards taught at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) and later became a professor at the University of Southern California.
Caryn Seamount The Caryn Seamount is a seamount in the Atlantic Ocean. It is an independent seamount located southwest of the New England Seamounts, which was active more than 100 million years ago.
