Andréa Geneviève Grottoli is a Canadian biologist who is Professor of Earth Sciences at the Ohio State University. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and was named the 2021 American Geophysical Union Rachel Carson Lecturer. She is the President of the International Coral Reef Society.

Early life and education[edit]

Grottoli was an undergraduate at McGill University.[1] She was a graduate student at the University of Houston, where she studied reef coral skeletons with Gerard Wellington.[2] During her graduate studies, she went on a field trip to Hawaii with Paul Jokiel, and became inspired to learn more about coral reefs.[3] She moved to the University of California, Irvine, where she worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Ellen Druffel.[citation needed]

Research and career[edit]

In 2001, Grottoli started her academic career at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was supported by a Institute for Citizens & Scholars Fellowship. She was appointed assistant professor at Ohio State University in 2005. She established the Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry Laboratory.[4] Her research combines geochemistry and coral biology.[5] She is particularly interested in what allows corals to become resistant to climate change. She was a speaker at a 2015 TEDx Ohio State University event, where she spoke about the connection between humans and corals.[6]

In 2019, Grottoli launched the Coral Bleaching Research Coordination Network (CBRCN).[7] In 2020, she was awarded a Fulbright Program Fellowship.[8] She spent the year in the Sorbonne University Oceanographic Lab in Villefranche-sur-Mer[8] where she studied corals of the Mediterranean, and how they are able to survive in stressful environments.[8]
