Alex Gagnon is an Associate Professor in the College of the Environment at the University of Washington. He is a chemical oceanographer focused on understanding ocean acidification impacts on calcifying organisms and corals and how these effects influence biogeochemical cycles. His research employs geochemical methods to study chemical mechanisms in oceanography, using small-scale investigations to shed light on global patterns. Gagnon's laboratory utilizes advanced analytical tools, including multi-collector plasma source mass spectrometry and NanoSIMS, in conjunction with biological culture modeling. His research also has a field component that incorporates open-water SCUBA diving, tropical reef monitoring, and the use of manned and unmanned deep-sea submersibles to gather data in various marine environments.
