  • Professor Nicholas Polunin

    Co-lead investigator, Newcastle University

    I am primarily a macro-ecologist interested in large-scale patterns of marine benthic community structure and drivers of these, especially those of food webs as revealed by stable isotope data. My recent work includes a wide range of locations including the Southern Ocean, North Sea and Indian Ocean, and this has long had strong links with policy and with other disciplines including the social sciences. I am the co-lead investigator of the Coldfish project.
