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 had the opportunity to lead 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 contributed to several IPCC products (AR5, Special Report on 1.5°C of Warming, and the Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere). I had the honor to receive the Vladimir Vernadsky medal of the European Geosciences Union, the Blaise Pascal medal of the European Academy of Sciences (of which I am an elected member), and the Ruth Patrick Award of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography. I am also an elected member of Academia Europaea.
