Early life and education

Coggon was an undergraduate student at the University of Cambridge, where she studied natural sciences.[1] She moved to the University of Southampton as a doctoral researcher in 2001.[1] Her research considered hydrothermal alteration of ocean crust on Macquarie Island. Her doctoral research involved field work on Macquarie as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE).[2] After graduating she was made a postdoctoral research scientist at the University of Michigan.[1] She returned to the United Kingdom in 2007, where she was appointed a postdoctoral researcher at Imperial College London.[1][3] By studying the calcium carbonate veins that form in rocks beneath the seafloor, Coggon showed that the chemical composition of oceans varied considerably over geological time.[4][5]

Research and career

In 2010, Coggon was awarded a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship and she moved to the University of Southampton. She was made a Royal Society University Research Fellow in 2018.[1] Her research considers the role of fluids in the evolution of the ocean crust, and the quantification of chemical exchanges between the ageing crust and the overlying oceans.[1][6]

Coggon is co-editor of the International Ocean Discovery Program 2050 Science Framework: Exploring Earth by Scientific Ocean Drilling,[7][8] which guides multidisciplinary subseafloor research. The framework identifies research frontiers that can only be achieved through ocean drilling. It has a thirty-year outlook and looks to achieve state-of-the-art scientific ocean drilling into the mid-21st century.

Coggon was awarded the Asahiko Taira International Scientific Ocean Drilling Research Prize in 2021.[9] The prize, which honours contributions to scientific ocean drilling, is given in partnership between the American Geophysical Union and Japan Geoscience Union.
