Miguel Mies born October 1986 in São Paulo, Brazil is an oceanographer and climate scientist who investigates the impacts of global warming on coral reefs. He is currently a professor at the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo[1] and research coordinator at the Coral Vivo Institute.[2]

Education

Mies obtained bachelor’s and PhD degrees in Oceanography at the University of São Paulo. His PhD dissertation investigated how climate change affects the molecular relationship between marine invertebrate larvae and their symbionts.[3] His dissertation demonstrated for the first time that coral larvae are susceptible to bleaching.[4]

Career

Mies has authored several peer-reviewed scientific articles and book chapters.[5] His work is mostly focused on field and experimental assessments of coral bleaching, at both global and regional scales.[6] His work is known for highlighting the importance of Brazilian coral reefs, which have a unique and resilient response to climate change when compared to other reef areas.[7] Mies currently runs the Coral Vivo research network, which is responsible for the monitoring of coral bleaching across 2,650 km in the Southwestern Atlantic.

Honors and awards

In 2011 and 2013, Mies won international awards for talks on giant clam ecology at the World Aquaculture Society conferences.[8] In 2021 he won a medal by the Rio de Janeiro Security Department for his contributions against the illegal trade of reef organisms.[citation needed]
