Justin Baker Ries is an American marine scientist, best known for his contributions to
ocean acidification ,
carbon sequestration , and
biomineralization research.
Biography
Ries was born in
Baltimore ,
Maryland , and attended the
Friends School of Baltimore . He received a B.A. from
Franklin and Marshall College and a Ph.D. from the
Johns Hopkins University for a dissertation 'Experiments on the effect of secular variation in seawater Mg/Ca (calcite and aragonite seas) on calcareous biomineralization'. He received postdoctoral training at the
Johns Hopkins University , the
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution , and the
California Institute of Technology . Ries was a professor at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for five years before becoming a professor at
Northeastern University in 2013. At Northeastern, he is affiliated with the Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences, the Marine Science Center, and the Institute for Coastal Sustainability.
Major discoveries
Ries is best known for his contributions to
ocean acidification and
biomineralization research. He and his colleagues made the publicized and controversial discovery that
anthropogenic CO2 -induced
ocean acidification does not negatively impact all species of marine calcifying organisms, but can also have neutral and even positive effects on some species.

[8]
[9] Ries also discovered that ocean acidification can alter the shell mineralogy,
[10] shell structure,
[11] predator-prey dynamics,
[12]
[13]
[9]
[14] and calcifying fluid pH of marine organisms, and produced the first
geochemical model of the calcifying fluid that could predict organisms' responses to future
ocean acidification .
[15]
[16] Ries and colleagues are also credited with discovering that the current rate of
CO2 -induced ocean acidification is the fastest in
Earth history
[17]
[18]
[19] and that many species of
marine calcifiers today inhabit seawater that is already
undersaturated with respect to their shell
mineral .
[20]
[21]
Inventions
Ries holds
carbon sequestration patents describing
biologically and geologically inspired methods for
removing and mineralizing CO2 from the flue-streams of
fossil-fuel-fired power plants and
transoceanic vessels , production of
carbon-negative cement , and alleviating bottlenecks in the
global carbon cycle .

Honors
Honors include induction into the
Phi Beta Kappa and
Sigma Xi honor societies, receipt of the German
Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg [
de ] Award
[24]
[25] and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Ocean and Climate Change Postdoctoral Fellowship. Ries was elected into the
National Academy of Inventors in 2024.
