Biography

David Turner is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Gothenburg, specializing in the development and application of chemical models in seawater. His research delves into the reactivity of chemical elements within seawater, focusing on how the presence of different chemical forms affects equilibrium conditions. He possesses expertise in calculating chemical speciation equilibrium, which is fundamental to understanding the chemistry of elements in seawater. Turner has led an international team that developed quality-assured chemical speciation models for seawater, launching a freely available software version in mid-2023. His work has contributed to major international oceanographic organizations, where he held roles such as a member of the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research and as part of the Chemical Speciation Taskgroup. In his capacity, he has published extensively, including contributions to notable models based on Pitzer activity coefficient equations. His involvement in interdisciplinary studies emphasizes the significance of international cooperation in advancing ocean science.
