Publications by Prof. David Walker

In a career spanning over 50 years, Prof. Walker has made an outstanding contribution to the understanding of the mechanisms involved in photosynthesis.

Over 200 research papers including several books for both children and adults have been published leading to Prof. Walker being awarded The Communications Award to acknowledge outstanding efforts to communicate photosynthesis to the general public. This award was presented by the International Society for Photosynthesis Research at the tri-annual ISPR meeting in 2004.

In conjunction with the ISPR and Prof. Walker, Hansatech Instruments have created a micro-site specifically dedicated to hosting this important collection of works.
