Prior to joining the OSU faculty\, she was a seagoing marine technician for the international Ocean Drilling Program and a post-doctoral research associate at the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in Newport\, Oregon. A few years after the deepsea vehicle Argo I was used to discover the wreck of the RMS Titanic in 1985\, Dawn was presented with some of the first geographic information system (GIS) data sets to be collected with that vehicle while a graduate student at UCSB. It was then that she first became acutely aware of the challenges of applying GIS to deep marine environments. She has since completed oceanographic fieldwork (oftentimes with GIS) in some of the most geologically-active regions on the planet\, including the East Pacific Rise\, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge\, the Juan de Fuca Ridge\, the Tonga Trench\, volcanoes under the Japan Sea and the Indian Ocean\, and American Samoa. Dawn is also an elected member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering.
