Who is Art Spivack?
Arthur J. Spivack, or Art, is an American geochemist. He is currently a professor at the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography.
Spivack’s research interest is the geochemistry of the oceans, atmosphere, and crust. He developed the use of boron isotopes for determining the pH of ancient oceans. This approach provides a principal basis for estimating atmospheric CO2 concentrations of the last several tens of million years. He has also contributed to scientific understanding of geochemical fluxes in mid-ocean-ridge hydrothermal systems and subduction zones and understanding of subseafloor life.
Spivack received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. in Oceanography from MIT and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
