Uwe Kils (1998)

Uwe Kils (born July 10, 1951 in Flensburg ) is a German marine biologist who specializes in planktology . Uwe Kils became known when the project for the resettlement of herring in the Flensburg Fjord was launched on his initiative .

Life

Kils studied from 1972 to 1977 in Kiel , and graduated with a degree in biology . His research focused on marine biology, followed by plankton , krill and herring. In 1979 he was awarded the Maier Leibnitz Prize for his work . In 1987 his habilitation and teaching activity as a private lecturer for marine biology and fishery biology in Kiel took place. He received the Heisenberg Prize for his work on herrings and the Life Sciences Prize of the Volkswagen Foundation for developing the Ecoscope . Later work included predator-prey relationships of juvenile Atlantic herringand plankton, for which a floating laboratory with underwater windows was converted, the Atoll Laboratory . The work uncovered some severe cases of oxygen deficiency and led to Kils' project "Clean Baltic Sea", an action to revive the Flensburg Fjord with herrings.

In 1994, Kils was appointed professor at the Institute for Marine and Coastal Sciences at Rutgers University in the USA. He helped set up a virtual institute for oceanography, in which students can operate probes and cameras on fiber optic cables via the Internet and take courses online. He programmed the virtual microscope. He worked with glass eels and created the web server eelBASE.
