Why Is Susan Humphris Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Susan Humphris is a geologist known for her research on processes at mid-ocean ridges. She is an elected fellow of the American Geophysical Union. Education and career Humphris grew up in the United Kingdom, where she learned to sail and enjoyed hikes that incited her interest in the natural world. As a child, she was not fond of history classes, but enjoyed the other subjects. Humphris has an undergraduate degree from Lancaster University , and earned her Ph.D. in 1976 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Following her Ph.D., she spent time as a postdoc at Imperial College in London and a year at Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory. For more than a decade, Humphris was a staff scientist at Sea Education Association before she joined the staff at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 1992.
