Ruth Deborah Gates (March 28, 1962 – October 25, 2018) was the Director of the Hawai?i Institute of Marine Biology and the first woman to be President of the International Society for Reef Studies.
Her research was dedicated to understanding coral reef ecosystems, specifically coral-algal symbiosis and the capacity for corals to acclimatize under future climate change conditions.
Doctor Gates is most accredited with looking at coral biology and human-assisted coral evolution, known as super corals, as notably seen in the documentary Chasing Coral, available on Netflix.
