Dr. Sam Dupont

Biography

Sam Dupont is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Gothenburg, focused on understanding the effects of global changes such as ocean acidification and warming on marine species and ecosystems. His research aims to uncover the mechanisms behind species and ecosystem responses to environmental changes and to develop unifying theories for large-scale projections. His approach integrates both fundamental and applied science, addressing classic biological questions while designing solutions that respond to societal needs. His research activities address critical challenges and target the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially in relation to ocean acidification. Dupont collaborates closely with postdoctoral researchers and PhD students on diverse projects including food security, capacity building, and improving science communication strategies to minimize the impacts of global environmental changes. He has been a significant contributor to international capacity building programs aimed at equipping early-career scientists from developing countries with skills to tackle ocean acidification issues. His work not only involves scientific research but also a strong emphasis on education, communication, and stakeholder engagement.
