Sam Dupont

Sam Dupont serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences at the University of Gothenburg, conducting research at the Kristineberg Marine Research Station. His work focuses on experimental marine physiology under global change scenarios, with particular expertise in ocean acidification impacts across diverse marine taxa.

Dr. Dupont's research centers on physiological and ecological responses to environmental stressors, especially ocean acidification and multi-stressor interactions. His investigations span molecular mechanisms to ecosystem-level consequences, with significant contributions to understanding calcification processes, transgenerational plasticity, and bioluminescence systems in marine invertebrates. Recent work examines sex ratio shifts in bivalves under acidification and local adaptation in sea urchin populations.

Analysis of Dr. Dupont's 2023-2025 publications reveals consistent output in high-impact journals, with strong emphasis on experimental marine ecology combining field and laboratory approaches. His work demonstrates increasing international collaboration, particularly with researchers in tropical and polar regions, addressing climate change impacts across diverse marine ecosystems from coral reefs to Antarctic habitats.

Dr. Dupont actively supervises graduate students and incorporates research into teaching through field-based courses at Kristineberg. His laboratory maintains active collaborations across 12 countries, with research funded through competitive national and international grants. Current projects focus on multi-stressor interactions, local adaptation mechanisms, and the physiological basis of climate resilience in marine organisms.

Based at the Kristineberg Marine Research Station, Dr. Dupont's work benefits from direct access to diverse coastal habitats and state-of-the-art experimental facilities. His research group participates in international monitoring networks and contributes to climate change assessment frameworks, bridging fundamental science with conservation applications.
