About
Andrew G. Dickson is a pioneering marine chemist whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of ocean carbon chemistry. His primary research focuses on the development and standardization of measurements for seawater carbonate systems, particularly pH, alkalinity, and dissolved inorganic carbon. Dickson is best known for establishing the certified reference materials (CRMs) that serve as the global gold standard for ocean acidification and carbon cycle research—a contribution that underpins thousands of studies worldwide. His papers have garnered over 14,000 citations, reflecting their foundational role in climate science. Notably, Dickson led the observational component of the SOCCOM project, deploying a fleet of biogeochemical floats across the Southern Ocean to monitor carbon, nutrients, and oxygen in real time. This robotic array has revolutionized our ability to track ocean health and carbon uptake in one of Earth’s most critical regions. For his work, Dickson has received the Sverdrup Gold Medal and the Rosenstiel Award, cementing his legacy as a cornerstone of modern oceanography.
