Dr. Francois M. M. Morel - (Chair)
Princeton University
François M. M. Morel is the Albert G. Blanke Professor of Geosciences and Director of the Center for Environmental BioInorganic Chemistry at Princeton University. He earned his Ph.D. in engineering sciences from the California Institute of Technology in 1971. Dr. Morel’s research is focused on trace metal biogeochemistry, particularly the role of trace metals in the growth and activity of marine phytoplankton. One of his current projects is on the effects of decreasing pH on key chemical and biological processes such as the precipitation of calcium carbonate and the availability of major and trace nutrients. He is a fellow of the Geochemistry Society and the American Geophysical Union and is on the editorial board of several journals. Dr. Morel has served on three previous NRC committees, and has recently been elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
Dr. David Archer

David Archer is a professor in the Department of Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago. He earned his Ph.D. in oceanography from the University of Washington in 1990. He has worked on a wide range of topics pertaining to the global carbon cycle and its relation to global climate, with special focus on ocean sedimentary processes such as CaCO3 dissolution and methane hydrate formation, and their impact on the evolution of atmospheric CO2. He previously served on the NRC Organizing Committee for the First Annual Symposium on Japanese-American Frontiers of Science.
Dr. James P. Barry
Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
James P. Barry is a senior scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. He earned a Ph.D. in oceanography from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1988. His research focuses on deep-sea biology and ecology, biological oceanography, the biology and ecology of chemosynthetic communities, climate change and marine ecosystems, polar ecology, and the biology of a high-CO2 ocean. He is currently a member of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program’s Science Advisory Panel on Investigations of Chemosynthetic Communities on the Lower Continental Slope of the Gulf of Mexico.
Dr. Garry D. Brewer
Yale University
Dr. Garry Brewer is the Frederick K. Weyerhaeuser Professor of Resource Policy and Management at the Yale University School of Management. He earned his Ph.D. in political science from Yale University in 1970. Dr. Brewer is a policy scientist with broad expertise in natural resource and environmental management. Dr. Brewer has served on numerous NRC boards and committees, including chairing the Panel on Social and Behavioral Science Research Priorities for Environmental Decision Making as well as the Panel on Strategies and Methods for Climate-Related Decision Support. He was also a member of the Board on Ocean Sciences and Policy from 1983-85 and then continued from 1985-87 as a member of the Ocean Studies Board.
Dr. Jorge E. Corredor
University of Puerto Rico - Mayaguez
Jorge E. Corredor is a professor of chemical oceanography at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez in their Department of Marine Sciences. Dr. Corredor earned a Ph.D. in biological oceanography from the University of Miami and a M.S. in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin, Madison supported by Fulbright-Hays and IOC-UNESCO fellowships. He is currently researching the biogeochemistry and genomics of carbon flux in the Caribbean as forced by large river plumes and meso-scale eddies. He is also working on the establishment of an ocean observing system in the Caribbean region. Dr. Corredor is currently a member of the Ocean Studies Board.
Dr. Scott C. Doney
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Scott C. Doney is senior scientist in the Department of Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Dr. Doney earned a Ph.D. in chemical oceanography from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in 1991. His research focuses on marine biogeochemistry and ecosystem dynamics, climate change, ocean acidification, and the global carbon cycle. Dr. Doney is also the chair of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Program.
Dr. Victoria J. Fabry
California State University, San Marcos
Victoria J. Fabry is a professor of biology in the Department of Biological Sciences at California State University, San Marcos. Dr. Fabry earned a Ph.D. in biology from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1988. Her current research focuses on the sensitivity of calcareous organisms and marine ecosystems to elevated carbon dioxide and ocean acidification, and the dissolution kinetics of biogenic calcium carbonates in the upper ocean. In 2004, Dr. Fabry presented testimony to the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on the “Impacts of Anthropogenic CO2 on Coral Reefs and Other Marine Calcifiers.”
Dr. Gretchen E. Hofmann
University of California, Santa Barbara
Gretchen E. Hofmann is a professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Dr. Hofmann earned a Ph.D. in Environmental, Population, and Organismal Biology from the University of Colorado in 1992. Her research focuses on the effects of climate and climate change on the performance of marine species, specifically on the impact on marine organisms of rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations via global warming and ocean acidification. She served on the NRC Committee on the National Ecological Observatory Network.
Dr. Daniel S. Holland
Gulf of Maine Research Institute
Daniel S. Holland is a Research Scientist at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute. He was awarded his Ph.D. in environmental and natural resource economics from the University of Rhode Island in 1998. Dr. Holland’s research is focused on the design and evaluation of fishery management tools and strategies that will lead to profitable and sustainable fisheries and a healthy marine ecosystem. His research methods include bioeconomic simulation modeling, econometric analysis, experimental economics, and qualitative policy analysis. He actively participates in the development of fishery policy by working with fishery stakeholders and managers to develop and evaluate policy. He is also the Associate Editor of Marine Resource Economics.
Dr. Joan A. Kleypas
National Center for Atmospheric Research
Joan A. Kleypas is a Scientist III at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Dr. Kleypas earned a Ph.D. in Tropical Marine Studies from James Cook University, Australia in 1991. Her research focuses on how coral reefs and other marine ecosystems are affected by environmental changes associated with global climate change, such as increases in sea surface temperature and ocean acidification. Dr. Kleypas has testified at three separate U.S. Congressional hearings regarding the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems.
Dr. Frank J. Millero
University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences
Frank J. Millero is a professor of marine and physical chemistry at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. Dr. Millero earned a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1965. His general research interest is in the application of physical chemical principles to natural waters to understand how ionic interactions affect the thermodynamics and kinetics of processes occurring in the oceans. He is presently involved in studies synthesizing the global CO2 cycle in the world oceans, including an understanding of the flux of fossil fuel CO2 into the deep ocean. He is also interested in the role of iron as a plant nutrient and its effect on the flux of CO2 to the deep ocean. He is a former member of the Ocean Studies Board and has served on two previous NRC committees.
Dr. Ulf Riebesell
Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences
Ulf Riebesell is the head of biological oceanography at the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in Kiel, Germany. Dr. Riebesell earned a Ph.D. in biological oceanography from the University of Bremen, Germany in 1991. His research focuses on the sensitivity of marine organisms and ecosystems to ocean change (e.g., ocean acidification, ocean warming, changing redox conditions), the oceanic carbon cycle, the stoichiometry of marine elemental cycles, biomineralization, the biogeochemistry of stable isotopes, and paleoproxy-calibrations. He has organized and participated in numerous international conferences on ocean acidification.
