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

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.

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]}
