Overview

Grégory Beaugrand is affiliated with the University of Lille in France and has a research focus within Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science. Their work covers several significant subfields including Oceanography, Ecology, Global and Planetary Change, Atmospheric Science, and Nature and Landscape Conservation.

Their research engages extensively with topics such as Marine Biology and Ecology Research, Isotope Analysis in Ecology, Geology and Paleoclimatology Research, Marine and coastal ecosystems, Marine and fisheries research, Marine and environmental studies, and Species Distribution and Climate Change.

Among recent publications, notable papers include European small pelagic fish distribution under global change scenarios (2020, Fish and Fisheries), Early Warning from Space for a Few Key Tipping Points in Physical, Biological, and Social-Ecological Systems (2020, Surveys in Geophysics), Effects of temperature on the behaviour and metabolism of an intertidal foraminifera and consequences for benthic ecosystem functioning (2021, Scientific Reports), Stepping stones towards Antarctica: Switch to southern spawning grounds explains an abrupt range shift in krill (2021, Global Change Biology), and Climate variability and multi-decadal diatom abundance in the Northeast Atlantic (2022, Communications Earth & Environment).

The scientist frequently collaborates with several co-authors, including Sonia Chaabane, Thibault de Garidel-Thoron, Julie Meilland, Geert-Jan A Brummer, and P. Graham Mortyn, each with multiple joint publications.

Publications appear regularly in venues such as Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Ecology and Evolution, Global Change Biology, Scientific Reports, and Frontiers in Marine Science.
