Marine Ecology

How thick is the sea ice at the North Pole? What is it like to scuba dive in leopard seal hunting grounds? And what does a marine biologist think of the Seaspiracy documentary? Our guest, Dr Karl Attard answers these questions and more. Karl's research interests include the productivity of coastal waters and the factors that drive fundamental ecosystem processes such as primary production and respiration. Seafloor habitats are a key focus of his work, as they represent hotspots of biodiversity and productivity within the ocean but yet remain poorly studied. His research has taken him on 30 expeditions including the Arctic and Antarctic . Karl is Assistant Professor in the NordCEE group of the Biology Department at the University of Southern Denmark, where he is also a Fellow at the Danish Institute for Advanced Study .
