Carlos M. Duarte is Ibn Sna Distinguished Professor of Marine Science and Tarek Ahmed Juffali Research Chair in Red Sea Ecology in the Red Sea Research Center and Computational Biosciences Research Center at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Thuwal, Saudi Arabia), and an honorary professor in the Department of Bioscience at Aarhus University (Denmark). His research focuses on understanding the impacts of global change in marine ecosystems, addressing all components from microbes to macrophytes, from coastal systems to the open ocean, and from the tropics to polar systems, with two particular nodes of interest: the metabolic and elemental budgets of ecosystems and their connectivity in space; and the stability and dynamics of marine habitats and the maintenance of biodiversity. Among his various distinctions, he holds the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Ecology and Conservation Biology.
