Mrs. Eva Ternon | Environmental Data Analysis | Best Researcher Award

CNRS/Laboratory of Oceanography of Villefranche | France

Dr . Eva Ternon is a chemical oceanographer and natural‑products chemist whose work spans atmospheric deposition, seawater biogeochemistry and the chemical ecology of harmful microalgae. After obtaining her PhD on atmospheric deposition in the Mediterranean Sea at the Laboratory of Oceanography of Villefranche (LOV), she held positions in France, the USA and Monaco, working on topics such as algicidal compounds, benthic organism chemistry and toxin‑producing dinoflagellates. In October 2024 she secured a permanent CNRS researcher position at LOV after ranking 1st/120 in the national contest for the “Science to Society” section. Her current research focuses on the chemical ecology of toxic dinoflagellates (particularly Ostreopsis cf. ovata), aerosols of phycotoxins, mucus‑mediated microalgal interactions and discovery of novel toxin families. She has published around 27 peer‑reviewed documents (14 as 1st or 2nd author), been cited ~493 times by ~402 documents, and holds an approximate h‑index of 13. She leads major projects including a MSCA Global Fellowship and H2020 CHEMICROS. Her discoveries of two new toxin families earned her the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropole Entrepreneurship Award in 2022, and she was among the interviewees for an ERC CoG call in 2024. With her dual expertise and interdisciplinary trajectory, she is advancing our understanding of how external drivers and chemical interactions shape harmful algal blooms and air‑sea toxin transfer.
