Miguel Mies

Mies was born in Brazil. He holds a BSc and a PhD in oceanography from the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo (IO-USP). His PhD dissertation focused on the impact of climate change on the molecular relationship between marine invertebrate larvae and their symbionts.{{cite thesis |last1=Mies |first1=Miguel |title=The symbiotic relationship between >i/i< and coral reef larvae: gene expression, fatty acid biochemistry and responses to thermal stress |date=23 April 2019 |doi=10.11606/T.21.2019.tde-22042019-102141 |doi-access=free }} It also provided the first demonstration of coral larvae susceptibility to bleaching.{{cite journal |last1=Mies |first1=M. |last2=Güth |first2=A.

Mies holds a professorship at IO-USP and leads the Coral Reefs and Climate Change Laboratory (LARC). He also serves as the Research Coordinator for the Coral Vivo Project and is the vice president of the Coral Vivo Institute. He was involved as the deputy coordinator for GT7 (Recifes) in response to the oil spill on the Brazilian coast.

During his career, Mies has served as a reviewer for more than 30 international scientific journals and was a member of the editorial board for Frontiers in Marine Science, focusing on coral reef research.

Mies researches subjects such as reef ecology, molecular biology, and genetics of zooxanthellae, larval development of reef organisms, trophic ecology of corals, and the effects of climate change on coral reefs.{{Cite web|url=https://hakaimagazine.com/news/giant-clams-spread-their-symbiotic-algae-through-their-poop/|title=Giant Clams Spread Their Symbiotic Algae through Their Poop |website=Hakai Magazine}}{{Cite web|url=https://revistapesquisa.fapesp.br/ameaca-a-corais-brasileiros-poe-peixes-em-risco/|title=Ameaça a corais brasileiros põe peixes em risco }} His research, focused mostly on field and experimental assessments of coral bleaching, spans both global and regional scales.{{cite journal |last1=da Silva Fonseca |first1=Juliana |last2=Mies |first2=Miguel |last3=Paranhos |first3=Alana |last4=Taniguchi |first4=Satie |last5=Güth |first5=Arthur Z. |last6=Bícego |first6=Márcia C. |last7=Marques |first7=Joseane Aparecida |last8=Fernandes de Barros Marangoni |first8=Laura |last9=Bianchini |first9=Adalto |title=Isolated and combined effects of thermal stress and copper exposure on the trophic behavior and oxidative status of the reef-building coral Mussismilia harttii |journal=Environmental Pollution |date=January 2021 |volume=268 |issue=Pt B |pages=115892 |doi=10.1016/j.envpol.2020.115892 |pmid=33120157 |bibcode=2021EPoll.26815892D }} His studies have contributed to the understanding of the unique responses of Brazilian coral reefs to climate change, compared to other reef ecosystems.{{Cite journal|title=South Atlantic Coral Reefs Are Major Global Warming Refugia and Less Susceptible to Bleaching|first1=Miguel|last1=Mies|first2=Ronaldo B.|last2=Francini-Filho|first3=Carla|last3=Zilberberg|first4=Amana G.|last4=Garrido|first5=Guilherme O.|last5=Longo|first6=Eduarda|last6=Laurentino|first7=Arthur Z.|last7=Güth|first8=Paulo Y.
