Maciej Telszewski holds a PhD in Marine Biogeochemistry from the University of East Anglia (Norwich, UK), where he worked with surface ocean carbon data to develop an efficient neural network algorithm allowing basin scale mapping of this parameter in the North Atlantic. He then moved to Japan, where he joined a research group at the National Institute for Environmental Studies (Tsukuba) to further improve the statistical computing approach. His work resulted in successful mapping of surface carbon and nutrients fields in the North Pacific accompanied by fluxes estimates included in the RECCAP synthesis. Throughout his research carrier he was actively involved in field campaigns, contributing surface measurements to the Surface Ocean CO₂ Observing Network (SOCONET) and ocean interior measurements to the Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP).

In 2011 Maciej joined the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (Paris, France) initially as a Deputy Director of the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project and since mid-2012 as IOCCP’s Project Director (and Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) Biogeochemistry Expert Panel Executive Officer). In this role he coordinates the highly diverse set of ocean carbon and biogeochemistry activities through extensive collaboration and dialogue with the scientific community via national and international organizations, scientific steering committees, scientific workshops, and expert meetings.
