About
Ulf Riebesell is Professor of Biological Oceanography at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, University of Kiel. His research examines biological responses to ocean change, including acidification, warming, and oxygen loss. With over 280 publications, he leads large-scale projects like BIOACID and EPOCA investigating carbon cycle-climate feedbacks.
Research focuses on:
- Plankton community responses to anthropogenic stressors
- Ocean alkalinity enhancement for carbon sequestration
- Biogeochemical consequences of climate interventions
Recent studies validate ocean alkalinity enhancement techniques while examining ecological impacts on marine food webs. Honors include the Leibniz Research Award and ERC Advanced Grant funding. Riebesell coordinates international networks like SOPRAN and contributes to IPCC ocean assessments.
Major scientific recognitions:
- European Geosciences Union Vernadsky Medal
- German Science Foundation Leibniz Award
- American Society of Limnology & Oceanography Lindeman Award
Current projects investigate artificial upwelling effects on diatom-mediated carbon export and silicate-based ocean alkalization techniques.
