EmailAbout Prof. Francis Emile Asuquo
I was employed in 1983 as a junior research fellow in the institute of oceanography. I have obtained certificate in marine pollution and coastal zone management from bremerhaven germany and venice,italy respectively.i obtained a Phd in marine environmental chemistry in 1994. presently i am a professor of chemical oceanography with specialization in marine biogeochemistry,toxicology and pollution.
