ThesisThe biogeochemistry of particulate lipids in warm-core Gulf Stream ring systems (1990)

Maureen Hatcher Conte is biogeochemist known for her work using particles to define the long-term cycling of chemical compounds in seawater.

Education and career

[edit]

Conte has a B.A. from Johns Hopkins University (1975), and an M.A. (1982), M.Phil. (1987), and Ph.D. (1989) from Columbia University.[1] Her Ph.D. examined lipids found in particles in the Gulf Stream.[2] Following her Ph.D. she conducted postdoctoral work at the University of Bristol before joining Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 1994. As of 2022 Conte is a senior scientist at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences and a fellow at the Marine Biological Laboratory.[3] Conte is the lead investigator for the Ocean Flux Program,[1] a program that has been examining particles in the Sargasso Sea since 1978.[4][5]

Research

[edit]

Conte is known for her work on the organic compounds found in particles.[6] Her early work examined the consumption of organic matter,[7] and the development of methods to analyze lipids from seawater.[8][9] Subsequently, she examined the different types of lipids found in organisms such as coccolithophores.[10][11] At the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study site, Conte has used long-term measurements of particles to quantify changes in the flux of organic carbon to the seafloor over time,[12][13] and used the presence of alkenones in particles to track changes in ocean temperatures over time.[14][15] Through her research she has characterized how hurricanes impact the flow of organic carbon to the seafloor,[16][17] and examined the impact of cold shock on sea turtles that are trapped in cold waters off Cape Cod.[18] Conte's research involves spending extended periods of time on research ships,[19] and in 2020, her research was delayed because she could not collect her samples due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[20]
