Abigail Smith is a professor in marine sciences at Otago University in Dunedin.[1]
Smith grew up in Maine[2] and did her undergraduate studies at Colby College and Massachusetts Institute of Technology[1] before emigrating to New Zealand to study for a PhD at Waikato University with a thesis entitled 'Aspects of the sedimentology of New Zealand bryozoans and mixed carbonate-clastic deposits : a contribution to the temperate shelf carbonate model.'[3]
Smith's research relates to the formation of skeletons' marine micro-flora and their deposition on the seafloor as sediment.
In October 2019, Smith won the Miriam Dell Award for Excellence in Science Mentoring from the Association for Women in Science.[4] Smith's notable students include Tuifuisaʻa Patila Amosa.[5]
