Jody Deming

Jody Deming is the marine microbiologist referenced in Melody Jue: Ocean Memory for reframing Arctic sea ice as a porous habitat where microbes can become memory agents. In Melody Jue’s account, Deming’s work helps shift ice from a passive climate record into a living and politically interpreted medium.

The source uses Deming’s example to link microbial behavior with Ocean Memory and Ecological Memory. Memory here is not only stored evidence; it can also be anticipation, recall, and altered response after prior exposure.

Connections

• Ocean Memory Project — interdisciplinary setting where Deming’s work enters the project frame.
• Melody Jue — speaker who connects the sea-ice example to memory studies.
• Ocean Memory and Ecological Memory — concepts supported by the microbial example.
• Multispecies Archives — broader archive frame that includes living and nonhuman processes.
