Overview

André W. Visser is affiliated with the Technical University of Denmark in Denmark. Their research focus spans environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with particular expertise in oceanography, ecology, global and planetary change, environmental chemistry, and nature and landscape conservation.

Their main research topics include marine and coastal ecosystems, microbial community ecology and physiology, marine and fisheries research, marine bivalve and aquaculture studies, methane hydrates and related phenomena, ocean acidification effects and responses, as well as coral and marine ecosystems studies.

Visser has published several papers, notable among them:

  • Quantifying nitrogen fixation by heterotrophic bacteria in sinking marine particles, 2021, Nature Communications
  • Model estimates of metazoans' contributions to the biological carbon pump, 2023, Biogeosciences
  • Linking Plankton Size Spectra and Community Composition to Carbon Export and Its Efficiency, 2022, Global Biogeochemical Cycles
  • A general size- and trait-based model of plankton communities, 2020, Progress In Oceanography
  • Latitudinal Variation in Plankton Traits and Ecosystem Function, 2020, Global Biogeochemical Cycles

They have collaborated frequently with several co-authors, including:

  • Ken H. Andersen
  • Jérôme Pinti
  • Thomas Kiørboe
  • Camila Serra-Pompei
  • Brian R. MacKenzie

Visser's publications have appeared regularly in specific venues such as:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Progress In Oceanography
  • Nature Communications
  • Global Biogeochemical Cycles

In addition to journal articles, Visser has contributed to book publications, including the title The Ephyra® sludge digestion - Unravelling its fundamentals and obtaining Biosolids Class A sludge published in 2020 by the Water Environment Federation.
