Baptiste Debret

EAG Early Career Councillor

Baptiste Debret is a permanent researcher employed by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and working at the Université de Paris Cité Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP). His research is highly multidisciplinary and spans the fields of geology, metamorphic petrology and novel stable isotope geochemistry. He studies natural samples collected at mid-oceanic ridges (e.g., Rainbow hydrothermal site), subduction (e.g., Mariana forearc) and collision zones (Alpine and Himalayan mountain ranges) to track redox transfers associated with (de)serpentinization reactions.

Baptiste Debret completed his PhD in metamorphic petrology at the Laboratoire Magmas & Volcans (France) in 2013. Subsequently, he held a postdoctoral research associate position in England, first at Durham University and then at the University of Cambridge, until April 2017. He then moved to the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) to take up a 3-year fellowship postdoctoral position funded by the “Fond National de la Recherche Scientifique” until October 2019, when he took up his current position at the French CNRS.

Baptiste is the EAG Early Career Councillor, i.e. the voice of early career scientists within the EAG Council. If you have suggestions for improvements or ideas that we could implement to further support early career scientists, you can contact him via the EAG Office (office@eag.org).
