Cassie got her BS in geology with a focus in oceanography at the University of Washington in Seattle. While there, she spent time aboard both UW research vessels working with multibeam data. Cassie spent the last couple of years working with NOAA’s Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping group on processing outside source acoustic data for its post-Hurricane Sandy research efforts. Cassie has just completed her MS at University of New Hampshire and will be coordinating the operation of the EM 124 sonar during the Five Deeps Expedition.
