Dawn Wright (aka "Deepsea Dawn") is Chief Scientist of the Environmental Systems Research Institute (aka "Esri") and a professor of Geography and Oceanography
at OSU, where she has been on the faculty since 1995. Prior to joining the OSU faculty, she was a seagoing
marine technician for the international Ocean Drilling Program and a
post-doctoral research associate at the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental
Laboratory in Newport, Oregon. A few years
after the deepsea vehicle
Argo I
was used to discover the wreck of the
RMS Titanic
in 1985,
Dawn was presented with some of the first geographic information system (GIS)
data sets to be collected with
that vehicle while a graduate student at UCSB. It was then that she first
became acutely aware of the challenges of applying GIS to deep marine
environments. She has since
completed oceanographic fieldwork (oftentimes with GIS) in some of the
most geologically-active regions on the planet, including the East
Pacific Rise, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the Juan de Fuca Ridge, the Tonga
Trench, volcanoes under the Japan Sea and the Indian Ocean, and American Samoa. Dawn is also an elected member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering.
