Welcome

Moronke is an Oceanography graduate student in the Juniper Lab at the University of Victoria (BC, Canada) who has returned to academia after working in industry on climate engineering and intergovernmental (Canada, USA, Russia, Japan, and the Republic of Korea), multi-vessel research expedition planning. She is fascinated with deep-sea exploration, biogeochemistry, microbiology, and sea-floor mapping. Beyond academic pursuits, she is founder of creative science communication and consultation brand ‘The Imaginative Scientist’.

“The most fascinating part of my work is the rarity, the uniqueness of location, and the potential for discovery. Thousands of meters under the ocean’s surface exists a world that survives and thrives in the absence of sunlight. Here, scientists explore areas of the Earth few have seen, and contribute to the discovery of our ‘final frontier’".” – Moronke Harris
