Jean-Pierre Gattuso - Biography#

I am CNRS Research Professor at the Laboratoire d'Océanographie de Villefranche (Sorbonne University). He is also Associate Scientist at the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI-SciencesPo, Paris). My current research relates to the effects of ocean acidification and warming on marine ecosystems and the services that they provide to society. I also investigate ocean-based solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change. I am a founding member of the European Geosciences Union and led the launch of the Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre at the International Atomic Energy Agency.

I coedited the first book on ocean acidification (Oxford University Press) and the first Best Practice Guide for Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement Research. I contributed to several IPCC products (AR5 and AR6) and will co-chair the 2025 One Ocean Science Congress preceding the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference.

I received a Union Service Award of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), the Vladimir Vernadsky medal of the EGU, the Blaise Pascal medal of the European Academy of Sciences, and the Ruth Patrick Award of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography. I am an elected member of the European Academy of Sciences, Academia Europaea and of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. More information: https://jpgattuso.github.io.
