Biography

John Delaney is an oceanographer studying the behavior of deep-sea volcanoes, particularly along the Juan de Fuca Ridge in the Pacific Ocean. He is the Director of the Neptune Program, overseeing the development of a regional cabled ocean observatory in the northeast Pacific Ocean as part of the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatories Initiative. This initiative is an unprecedented effort that utilizes fiber-optic cables to effectively bring the Internet to the Pacific Ocean seafloor, providing high-quality, real-time data to a global audience. In addition to studying the linkages between volcanoes and life on Earth, Delaney is also interested in the search for life elsewhere in the solar system and has worked with NASA to plan space missions to the moons of Jupiter. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union.
