People of the Marine Animal Ecology Group

Tinka Murk is professor and chair holder of the Marine Animal Ecology group. Her research covers a range of topics in marine ecology, and focuses on nature-based solutions, particularly in the North Sea. She is interested in how marine organisms can or cannot adapt to changes in their environment, and what the consequences are for the species interactions within the community they live in. This includes abiotic changes of the marine environment (like climate change, acidification, eutrophication and physical changes) and biotic changes (such as invasive species or over-extraction of species).
