He received the American Geophysical Union's "Walter Sullivan Award for Excellence in Science Journalism" in 1994. His book, Mapping the Deep, a narrative of the story of ocean science, won the 2001 Aventis Science Book of the Year award.
He has co-written an account of climate science with the geophysicist and climate scientist, Wallace Broecker. This includes a discussion of the work of Klaus Lackner in re-capturing from the atmosphere—which Kunzig and Broecker consider will play a vital role in reducing emissions and countering global warming. Most recently, he has also written on the size and impact of the human population on the planet.Books
