Jean-Pierre Gattuso

Jean-Pierre Gattuso is a CNRS Research Professor at the Laboratoire d'Océanographie de Villefranche (Sorbonne University) and Associate Scientist at the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI-SciencesPo, Paris). His research focuses on the impacts of ocean acidification and warming on marine ecosystems, as well as ocean-based solutions to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

• Current Roles: CNRS Research Professor, Associate Scientist at IDDRI-SciencesPo
• Past Positions: Research Professor at Shantou University (2006–2009), Visiting Scientist at Rutgers University and NCAR (2004–2005), Group Leader at Laboratoire d'Océanographie de Villefranche (1998–2004), and others.

His research interests span ocean acidification, carbon and carbonate cycling, climate change impacts on marine ecosystems, and ocean-based mitigation strategies. He co-edited the first book on ocean acidification and contributed to IPCC AR5 and AR6 reports.

Recent publications highlight his work on ocean alkalinity enhancement, CO2 sequestration, and climate policy integration. He has developed tools like FOCE systems for in situ ocean acidification experiments and standardized ocean carbonate chemistry analysis.

• Scientific Awards: Ruth Patrick Award (2020), Blaise Pascal Medal (2014), Vladimir Vernadsky Medal (2012), and others.
• Academic Memberships: Foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, elected member of the European Academy of Sciences, Academia Europaea, and founder of the European Geosciences Union.

Gattuso has led the Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre at the International Atomic Energy Agency and will co-chair the 2025 One Ocean Science Congress.
