About
Tanya L. Maurer is a leading figure in ocean biogeochemical observation, whose work is central to our understanding of the Southern Ocean's role in the global carbon cycle. Her primary research focuses on developing and deploying autonomous robotic profiling floats equipped with biogeochemical sensors, a cornerstone of the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) project. Maurer’s major contribution lies in pioneering the operational framework for this large-scale array of over 200 floats, which measure carbon, nutrients, and oxygen in one of the planet's most remote and crucial regions. Her highly cited paper, "Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) Float Data Archive" (2017, 14 citations), serves as the foundational data resource for the scientific community, enabling breakthroughs in climate modeling and carbon flux estimation. By transforming how we observe the Southern Ocean, her work has provided unprecedented, year-round data that directly informs our understanding of ocean acidification and climate change impacts.
