Deborah Kelley is a professor and marine geologist at the University of Washington, specializing in submarine volcanoes and the support of life in the absence of sunlight. With extensive diving experience in the submersible Alvin, she has explored environments at depths of 4000 meters, studying some of Earth's most extreme locations, including submarine hydrothermal hot springs. Her fieldwork encompasses the volcanoes and hot springs along the coasts of Washington and Oregon, as well as the novel Lost City hydrothermal field at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the island of Cyprus. Kelley is also the Associate Director of Science for the cabled component of the National Science Foundation's Ocean Observatories Initiative. This project leverages high-power bandwidth submarine fiber-optic cables to deliver high-quality, real-time data from over 100 instruments, including high-definition video and measurements of seismic activity, ocean acidity, and oxygen levels, to a global audience.
