About
Dr. Jamie K.S. Wagner is a leading ocean engineer whose work has transformed how we study deep-sea zooplankton communities. Her primary research focuses on developing advanced autonomous sampling systems for marine biology, with a particular emphasis on high-resolution, large-volume collection in the deep ocean. Wagner’s most significant contribution is the SyPRID (Suspended Particulate Rosette sampler with In-situ Digitization) sampler, a groundbreaking autonomous system capable of filtering thousands of cubic meters of water with unprecedented spatial precision. Her seminal 2016 paper on SyPRID, which has garnered 33 citations, established it as the current standard for deep-ocean plankton sampling, replacing traditional MOCNESS nets that offered only low-resolution, integrated samples. This innovation allows researchers to capture fine-scale distributions of zooplankton and marine snow, enabling more accurate studies of carbon cycling and ecosystem dynamics in the abyssal ocean. Wagner’s work has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of deep-sea food webs and the biological pump, earning her recognition as a pioneer in autonomous oceanographic instrumentation. Her achievements continue to inspire new generations of marine engineers and ecologists.
