Biography

Mark Warner is an Associate Professor in the College of the Environment at the University of Washington. His academic journey began with a passion for ocean studies inspired by the adventures of Jacques Cousteau on television. Unlike Cousteau, Warner focused more on marine chemistry than marine biology. His research investigates the entry of anthropogenic compounds, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), into the ocean's interior to enhance understanding of ocean mixing and circulation pathways, a field known as tracer oceanography. Warner has conducted extensive measurements of these compounds across the world's oceans, working collaboratively with international colleagues on various projects. His notable research includes studies in the Seas of Okhotsk, Japan, aboard a Russian research vessel, and deep-water formation areas near the Adelie Coast of Antarctica aboard an Australian icebreaker. In addition, he has been actively involved in researching Puget Sound, specifically efforts to comprehend the implications of low dissolved oxygen concentrations in Hood Canal.
