Harvey W. Smith Distinguished Professor of Biological Oceanography in the Nicholas
School of the Environment and Earth Sciences
Dr. Cindy Lee Van Dover is a deep-sea biologist with an interest in ocean exploration
and the ecology of chemosynthetic ecosystems. She began her work in this field in
1982, joining the first biological expedition to hydrothermal vents on the East Pacific
Rise. After earning a Master's degree in ecology from UCLA in 1985, she continued
her graduate education in the MIT/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program
in Biological Oceanography. There she joined numerous expeditions and publ
