Uwe Kils in 1998

Uwe Kils (b. July 10, 1951) is a German marine biologist specializing in Antarctic biology. Working under marine biologist and oceanographer Gotthilf Hempel at the Leibniz Institute for Oceanography, now the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research, in May 1979, Kils obtained his doctorate in marine biology focusing on the behaviour and physiology of krill in Antarctica graduating summa cum laude and opus eximium. His dissertation was translated and published in English as a book.

Career

His work led to the development of instruments for in situ observation of underwater fauna, including the ecoSCOPE and the first software for full speed video processing. Later work at Kiel included the study of predator-prey interactions of juvenile herring and plankton, for which a floating laboratory was built called ATOLL The ATOLL was composed of three curved fiberglass elements, each 25 m long and having a draught of only 38 cm. For towing, the elements could be assembled in a long S-shape; in operation, the elements would form a horseshoe shape surrounding 150 m² water surface and was developed and deployed in the Bay of Kiel. Work there led to Kils' involvement in an initiative to repopulate the Flensburg Fjord with herring as part of the project Saubere Ostsee ("Clean Baltic"). His work was honored by the Heinz Maier Leibnitz Prize.

Subsequently, Kils was invited by the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences at Rutgers University, where he became a tenured associate professor in 1994 helping to set up a "Virtual Institute for Marine Sciences" at Tuckerton with online underwater cameras via fibre optic cables. He programmed the virtual microscope, worked with glasseels at the project Longterm Ecological Observatory, and created the eelBASE web server. He recently retired from a position as associate professor of marine science at Rutgers University.
