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]
