Angelicque E. White is an American oceanographer. She is a professor at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology and director of the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program.
Early life and education
[edit]White earned her Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree from the University of Alabama in Huntsville before enrolling at Oregon State University for her PhD in Biological Oceanography.[1] She conducted her postdoctoral research with Ricardo Letelier and the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program.[2]
Career
[edit]Upon completing her PhD, White became an assistant professor at Oregon State University.[3] Her research focus remained on "understanding how specific organisms acquire the elements necessary for growth and how different nutrient sources impact primary productivity and particle export."[1] During her tenure at Oregon State, she participated in various expeditions, including to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and received a 2012 Sloan Research Fellowship.[4] White also took pictures while studying marine phytoplankton which were then displayed at the Corvallis Arts Center in an exhibition titled The Art of Plankton: Form Follows Function.[5] In 2015, she received the Yentsch-Schindler Early Career Award in recognition of her contributions to research, science training, and broader societal issues.[6] She was also promoted to the role of associate professor from 2015 until 2018 when she left to join the faculty at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.[3]
Upon joining the faculty at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, White replaced Karl as leader of the HOT program.[7] She also received funding from the National Science Foundation to continue the program for five more years.[8]
In 2020, White's 2019 TED talk about ocean microbes and the changing climate made the list of the most watched TED talks[9]
Research
[edit]
White's Ph.D. research examined the factors controlling the bloom forming marine phytoplankton Trichodesmium.[10] White's past research includes harmful algal blooms[11] and microplastics.[12]
Personal life
[edit]White was engaged in a long-term partnership with Jennifer DeVries from 2002 until her death in 2012.[13]
