Author Information

Mario Giordano (1964–2019) was Professor of Plant Physiology at the Marche Polytechnic University, Ancona, Italy, where he founded a Plant and Algae Physiology laboratory focussing on the acquisition and metabolism of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur by alga. He was Professor at the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic and associate researcher at ISMAR-CNR, Venice. Mario was Director of the Joint Algal Research Center, JARC, between the University of Shantou in China and UNIVPM. He published over 120 journal articles and book chapters and received the Luigi Provasoli Award from the Phycological Society of America (2002). Shortly before his untimely death he had been appointed Scientific Attaché at the Italian Embassy in Beijing. John Beardall is Emeritus Professor at the School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne. He is also Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Faculty of Applied Sciences, UCSI University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Visiting Professor at the State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science, College of Ocean & Earth Sciences, Xiamen University, China. His research has centred on the physiology of algae, focussing on the acquisition of inorganic carbon and the effects of climate change. He has published over 300 papers and book chapters and received the Luigi Provasoli Award (2002) and the PSA Award of Excellence (2018) from the Phycological Society of America. John A. Raven is Emeritus Professor at the Division of Plant Science, University of Dundee, UK. He is also Adjunct Professor at the School of Biology, University of Western Australia, and Visiting Professor at the University of Technology, Sydney. His research has focussed on the functioning of photosynthetic organisms, particularly aquatic photosynthetic organisms, in relation to their environment. He has published over 400 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters and was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1981) and Fellow of the Royal Society, London (1990). Stephen C. Maberly is a Fellow of the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Lancaster, UK. His research has included ecological studies of inland waters and their response to ecological pressures, and physiological experiments on the carbon acquisition mechanisms of their phytoplankton and macrophytes and also those of marine algae and seagrasses. He has published 180 papers and book chapters and 130 publications or reports for the general public and environmental managers. He received the Luigi Provasoli Award from the Phycological Society of America (1992).
