Andre Visser - CV

Research areas and responsibilities

My research interests revolve around the interaction of biota with physical processes in the marine environment. This is both for the small scale (e.g. turbulence and planktonic encounter rates, detection of hydromechanical signals by copepods) as well as large scale processes (e.g. tidal fronts and subsurface chlorophyll maxima, river plumes and eutrophication, tidal rectification plankton dispersion).
