Colin Devey
Oceanic Volcanism – Research Division “Dynamics of the Ocean Floor”, GEOMAR - Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel
Professor Deyey was born in 1961 in the village of Holmfirth in North England. He studied geology at the University of London, Royal School of Mines and got his PhD in 1986 from the University of Oxford.
During a subsequent post-doctoral visit to the Centre de Recherches Pétrographiques et Géochimiques in Nancy, France, where Devey had his first encounter with marine science, completely by chance being able to participate in a cruise with the German research vessel “Sonne” around Tahiti. This led him to a job at the University of Kiel where he stayed for 10 years.
In 1998 Devey was appointed Professor for the Petrology of the Ocean Crust at the University of Bremen, a position he held for 6 years until returning to Kiel and the then Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences, now Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research GEOMAR.
Colin Devey has, since his first cruise, participated in over 30 marine science research cruises, the vast majority as Chief Scientist.
