Robert Kunzig

Robert Kunzig is a scientific journalist, specializing in the topic of oceans. He works at the European division of Discover magazine and is a regular contributor to National Geographic. His writings led to him winning a prize in scientific journalism from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the Walter Sullivan Award for Excellence in Science Journalism. His book, Mapping the Deep, a narrative of the story of ocean science, won the Aventis Science Book of the Year award. He has recently co-written an account of climate science with the geophysicist and climate scientist, Professor Wallace Broecker. This includes a discussion of the work of Klaus Lackner in capturing CO₂ from the atmosphere - which Kunzig and Broecker consider will play a vital role in reducing emissions and countering global warming. Most recently, he has also written on the size and impact of the human population on the planet.
