Interview

SciencePoles interviewed Filip Volckaert

21 july 2006

Filip Volckaert is Associate Professor of Evolutionary Biology and Marine Biology at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven . He is co-coordinating an international research effort, PELAGANT, which looks to better understand the ecology and unusual biodiversity of the Antarctic marine waters. Involving participants from other Belgian universities and researchers across Europe, in Canada and Japan, PELAGANT is examining how severe climate and millions of years of isolation from other marine systems has created some intriguing ecosystems, species and populations.

SciencePoles recently interviewed him about the project.

The interview is posted on the SciencePoles website.
