Rosalind Mary Coggon is an English scientist who is a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Southampton. She is the co-editor of the 2050 Science Framework, which guides multidisciplinary subseafloor research. She was awarded the 2021 American Geophysical Union Asahiko Taira International Scientific Ocean Drilling Research Prize.
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]
