Scientific career
FieldsOceanography, Benthic Biogeochemistry
InstitutionsOregon State University
ThesisSedimentary organic matter : distribution and alteration processes in the coastal upwelling region off Peru (1981)
Doctoral advisorErwin Suess

Clare Reimers is a Distinguished Professor of Ocean Ecology and Biogeochemistry at Oregon State University's College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences.[1]

Education and career

[edit]

Reimers earned a B.A. in Environmental Science from University of Virginia in 1976 and an M.S. in Oceanography from Oregon State University in 1978.[2] Reimers holds a Ph.D. from Oregon State University from 1982.[3] Subsequently, Reimers worked at Scripps Institution of Oceanography[4] and Rutgers University[4] before returning to Oregon State in 2000.

Research and advances

[edit]

Reimers' early research used a combination of methods to quantify the flux of organic carbon to the seafloor[5][6] and the efficiency of its conversion to carbon dioxide.[7][8][9] Reimers has developed benthic microbial fuel cells that generate power based on the redox gradient between reduced seafloor sediments and the oxidized seawater above the seafloor[10][11][12] Reimers serves as Project Support Office Scientist for construction of up to three new Regional Class Research Vessels. The National Science Board awarded the project almost $472 million, which includes the initial 199 foot, R/V Taani. [13][14][15] She holds U.S. Patent 6,913,854 for methane-powered microbial fuel cells,[16] which have been used to power long-term underwater sensors.[17][18]
