Kai G Schulz

Kai G Schulz is an Associate Professor at the School of Environment, Science and Engineering within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Southern Cross University, Australia. His work integrates experimental approaches, observational data, and modeling to investigate ocean and climate change impacts on marine ecosystems.

His research interests include:

• Biological Oceanography
• Global Change Biology
• Ecological Impacts of Climate Change
• Ecosystem Function
• Physical Geography and Environmental Geoscience
• Conceptual and Numerical Modelling
• Marine Biogeochemistry and Pelagic Food Web Ecology

His research focuses on understanding how ocean change affects biogeochemical cycling and marine food webs, with an emphasis on inorganic carbon dynamics and potential mitigation strategies. He combines laboratory experiments with local and global datasets and employs both conceptual and numerical models to scale findings across systems.

Although no individual publications are listed in the provided text, his research areas suggest strong contributions to climate-ocean interactions, ecosystem modeling, and marine biogeochemistry.

Notable recognition includes:

• Senior Researcher Award for Research Excellence, Southern Cross University (2022)

He has secured multiple competitive grants, including funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC), supporting his research program. While specific advisees are not listed, his role as Associate Professor and research leadership, including past Deputy Directorship of the Centre for Coastal Biogeochemistry, indicates active supervision and mentorship.

He is involved in Scholarship of Learning & Teaching and maintains strong research affiliations within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. His work contributes significantly to understanding and responding to global environmental change.
