蔡春芳，1966年生于福建省福清市。中科院地质与地球物理研究所研究员、博士生导师、长江大学楚天学者特聘教授。在GCA、Chem. Geol.、Org Geochem等国际著名刊物，发表第一作者国际SCI论文20篇，通讯论文8篇，三篇被SCI引文大于85次，最高130次，H-index为16。主要从事盆地油、气和水与岩石之间微生物和热化学硫酸盐还原（TSR）等作用，以及高-过成熟烃源岩与油气对比研究。

阐明甲烷可以是TSR的主要反应物，定量表征了其碳同位素分馏效应，提出TSR过程新产生了硫醇、四氢噻吩和金刚烷等化合物，发现硫代金刚烷和四氢噻酚硫同位素值反映了不同TSR阶段；研发了烃源岩有机硫同位素测试方法，提出了其应用于油源对比的条件，认为塔里木盆地下古生界原油来自寒武系烃源岩，并将有机硫同位素应用于寒武纪生物大爆发时期古海洋硫氮循环关系研究；提出深埋白云岩优质储层可形成于早期白云岩化和后期TSR；发现了铀矿化硫酸盐还原细菌微化石，首次建立了微生物与油气同时参与的铀成矿模式。
