Prof Christopher Pearce

Chris’ research focusses on understanding the processes that cause, and can help mitigate, global climate change. He is at the forefront of rapidly growing international interest in assessing marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) approaches and is the scientific and technical lead of the Strategies for the Evaluation and Assessment Of Ocean-based Carbon Dioxide Removal (SEAO2-CDR) project that is developing cross-cutting mechanisms, tools and guidelines for evaluating mCDR techniques. Chris’ research interests also include determining the biogeochemical and ecological consequences of seaweed deposition in deep-sea environments and quantifying the efficacy and impacts of ocean alkalinity enhancement.
