Cody Turner

Undergraduate Student, UW (Leg 1 & 2)

My name is Cody Turner, and I am currently a junior at the University of Washington. I am majoring in oceanography and biology, with a minor in marine biology. I grew up on Vashon Island, which is where my interest of the ocean started. Throughout my life, I knew I wanted to work with the ocean in some way or another for my career. I became interested in the deep sea, because very little is actually known about it. In the spring of my freshman year at UW, I started to work with Deb Kelley, and assist her in her research. I have been working there ever since, and I couldn’t ask for a better job. I am very excited to be able to participate in the cruise this summer, and I hope to learn as much as I can in the few weeks I am at sea. Outside of school, I like to spend a lot of time outdoors. I enjoy rock climbing, mountaineering, skiing, running, and any activity that involves the water.
