Amanda Demopoulos, Ph.D.
I lead multidisciplinary investigations into coastal and deep-sea benthic communities funded by USGS-EMA and partners, including BOEM and NOAA, that pull together scientists and experts from across USGS, as well as NOAA, BOEM, and many academic institutions. Deep-sea investigations are complex and logistically challenging and require an interdisciplinary approach to disentangle what makes them tick.
