The Duke University Marine Lab is a unit of the Nicholas School.
Van Dover, who specializes in the study of deep-sea hydrothermal vents and chemosynthetic communities, has received numerous honors for her research and teaching, including a Fulbright Research Scholarship in 2004, a National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2000 and a William and Mary Alumni Fellowship Award for Outstanding Teaching in 2003.
Her appointment as director of the Duke Marine Lab represents a homecoming of sorts: In 1994-95, she served as Mary Derrickson McCurdy Visiting Scholar at the lab and, in the late 1970s, she worked as a technician there after graduating from Rutgers.
