Susanne Menden-Deuer is an oceanographer and marine scientist known for her work on marine food webs, including their structure and function. As of 2022, she is president-elect of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography.
Menden-Deuer received her Diplom in 1996 from the University of Bonn. She went on to receive an M.Sc. (1998) and a Ph.D. (2004) from the University of Washington. [1] Following her Ph.D. Menden-Deuer worked at Princeton University and Western Washington University. She moved to the University of Rhode Island in 2008, and was promoted to professor in 2017. [1]
In 2022, the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography announced Menden-Deuer as president-elect for the society. [2]
Menden-Deuer is known for her work on the motility of plankton and their production. Her early work presented carbon-to-volume relationships for small marine organisms, [3] a paper with Evelyn Lessard that was recognized in 2016 as one of the most highly cited papers in the journal Limnology and Oceanography. [4] Subsequent work looked at foraging behavior by plankton organisms, [5] [6] and expanding methods used to quantify grazing activity in marine systems. [7] [8] Menden-Deuer and her student Elizabeth Harvey, determined that the phytoplankton Heterosigma akashiwo moves away from predators, [9] a behavior not previously observed in phytoplankton. [10] [11]
As part of her work in the classroom, Menden-Deuer works with her students to edit Wikipedia. [12]
In 2015, Menden-Deuer was named a fellow of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, and in 2020 was named a sustaining fellow. [13] She received the Hutner Award, named after Seymour Hutner, from the International Society of Protistologists in 2015. [14] [15]
