Science lectures Aarhus University Seaweed by marine biologist Annette Bruhn

What to know

Below the ocean's surface, seaweed forms spectacular underwater forests that are important for marine life and the planet's climate. New research shows that seaweed can also help solve future health, food, climate and environmental challenges Below the ocean's surface, seaweed grows in a multitude of different colors, shapes and sizes. The kelp forests that grow along the world's coasts are as important to marine ecosystems as they are to life on land From the poles to the equator, seaweed creates both food and hiding places for countless marine organisms - such as fish and small animals. At the same time, seaweed helps to keep both the marine environment and the climate in balance as it absorbs nutrients from seawater, absorbs CO 2 from the atmosphere, produces oxygen and counteracts ocean acidification. - Date: 17 November 2026 - Time: 19:00–21:00 - Venue: KU.
