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.
Dr Turley has over 120 peer review
publications and a similar number of non-peer reviewed articles and
reports. In the last 9 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.
Carol 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 and is a member of the €3.5M EU funded
Mediterranean Sea Acidification under Changing Climate Project
(MedSeA).
Dr Turley has contributed to events at
the UNFCCC Congress of Parties (COP) in Copenhagen (2009), Cancun
(2010) and Durban (2011) and the Rio+20 UN Earth Summit on
Sustainability (2012) and is a review editor for the current
5th IPCC Assessment Report on Climate Change. She received an OBE
for services to science in the 2011 New Years Honours List.
