Karen Marks has worked as a Geophysicist since 1990 at the
NOAA Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry of the U.S. National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA. She received a
B.S. in Geology from the University of Florida, an M.S. in Geophysics from
Boston College, and a Ph.D. in Geophysics from the University of Houston,
with a dissertation on the geophysics of the Australian-Antarctic
Discordance Zone. Her current research includes analyzing errors in
altimetric bathymetric models, evaluating bathymetric datasets for United
Nations Law of the Sea applications, and the detection of seamounts in
satellite gravity and satellite-derived bathymetry. Her research also
encompasses marine tectonic and geodynamic applications of satellite
altimetry with emphasis on plate tectonic histories and seafloor
spreading. She advises the General Bathymetric Charts of the Oceans
(GEBCO) Technical Sub-Committee on Ocean Mapping (TSCOM).
