Jon Dehn is an Associate Research Professor with the Alaska Volcano Observatory at the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He holds a BS (1984) and MS (1987) in Geology from Arizona State University, and is a three time Fulbright scholar to Germany. He received his doctoral degree in natural sciences in Geology, with minors in Geophysics and Computer Science from the University of Kiel, Germany in 1992. Since that time he has worked in the Siberian Arctic with the Liebniz-Insititute for Marine Science and on Hokkaido's volcanoes with the Geological Survey of Japan in Sapporo. He came to UAF in 1997 monitoring Alaska's volcanoes through satellite remote sensing, developing new tools to improve prediction and hazard mitigation. Though a research faculty member, he has taught every year at UAF in addition to a strong commitment to outreach efforts at all levels. He also holds affiliate positions at the University of Hawaii at Manoa as well as at the Open University in Milton Keynes, UK, and is active in research on volcanoes Kamchatka and Italy. Jon was elected to theFaculty senate in 2006, serving on the Faculty Affairs Committee, which he chaired from 2007-2008. He was chosen and President-Elect in 2008, President 2009-2011 and was Faculty Alliance chair 2009-2010.

Jennifer Reynolds is Associate Professor of Geological Oceanography in UAF's School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences. She holds a B.A. in Earth Science from Dartmouth College and a Ph.D. in Geological Sciences from Columbia University (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory), where she studied volcanism at mid-ocean ridge plate boundaries. During postdoctoral research positions at the U.S. Geological Observatory's Hawaii Volcano Observatory and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, she gained broader experience in volcanism at ocean islands and in the deep sea. Since moving to Alaska in 2000, her research has focused on application of geological oceanography to seafloor habitat studies in the Alaska region, particularly habitat for groundfish and deep sea corals. This research is highly interdisciplinary and involves collaboration with fisheries scientists and marine biologists. Dr. Reynolds teaches geological oceanography, and has supervised graduate students in Oceanography, Fisheries, and Geology. She also serves as Associate Director of the West Coast & Polar Regions Undersea Research Center, a regional center in NOAA's Undersea Research Program (NURP). The Center supports undersea research and technological innovation in marine ecosystems and marine resource management. Dr. Reynolds was appointed as a UAF representative to Faculty Alliance in 2009.
