Veronique Robigou Oceanographer School of Oceanography at the University of Washington

Veronique is an oceanographer at the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington. In collaboration with a large research group, the focus of her research has been mapping the geology of hydrothermal vent fields and sulfide edifices in submarine volcanic systems. Early on, these maps served as exploration tools to locate hydrothermal activity on the seafloor, and now she uses precisely navigated, high-precision maps to pursue her interest in how such rapidly changing systems evolve through time.
