Samantha "Mandy" Joye is an American oceanographer who is well known for her work studying the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] She is a professor (Athletic Association Professor in Arts and Sciences) at the University of Georgia in the Department of Marine Sciences.[8] Joye has made fundamental contributions in ocean biogeochemistry and microbial ecology,[9][10][11] and is also regularly called upon by scientific and policy agencies as well as the media for expert commentary on ocean ecology.[12][13] She was the expedition scientist and a lead science advisor for The Deep episode, part of the BBC's Blue Planet II,[14] and is featured in production videos including Brine Pools: Exploring an Alien World for Blue Planet II[15] and Future of the Oceans.[16][17]  She led the “Ecosystem Impacts of Oil and Gas in the Gulf” research consortium between 2014 and 2020 [18][19] and conducts research to understand relationships between biogeochemical cycles (e.g. of hydrocarbons), microbial activity, and environmental factors in many diverse ocean environments.[20]
