Dr Carol Turley’s research has been centred on
the ocean’s biogeochemical cycles looking at habitats from shallow
and deep-sea sediments, estuaries, frontal systems to large
enclosed waters. She has over 100 peer review publications and a
similar number of non-peer reviewed articles and reports. In the
last 7 years she became interested in ocean acidification leading
the UK Government (DEFRA) review on impact of pH change on the
marine environment, she was an author on the OSPAR report on the
topic, a member of The Royal Society working group on ocean
acidification and was a Lead Author on the 2007 Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 4th Assessment Report on Climate
Change. She is a member of the Executive Board of the €16M EU
funded European Project on Ocean Acidification (EPOCA) and the
International Geosphere Biosphere Programme’s SOLAS-IMBER Ocean
Acidification working group (SIOA).
Carol is the Knowledge Exchange Coordinator
for the £12M UK Ocean Acidification Research Programme (UKOA) and
is a member of the €3.5M EU funded Mediterranean Sea Acidification
under Changing Climate Project (MedSeA). She has contributed to
several UNFCCC events, including the UN Conference on Climate
Change, (COP15) in Copenhagen in December 2009, COP16 in Mexico in
December 2010 and COP 17 in Durban in December 2011, and is a
Review Editor for the 5th IPCC Assessment Report on Climate Change.
She received an OBE for services to science in 2011.
