Ken Dunton is a
biological oceanographer whose research is focused on estuarine
and coastal processes. Although his work spans from the Arctic
to the Antarctic, his continuous studies of the arctic coastal
ecosystem has spanned three decades and over 3000 research dives.
Dunton has been funded by NSF’s Arctic System Science’s
Shelf-Basins Interactions study since 1999. His component is
focused on the distribution and biomass of benthic biota and
the application of stable isotopic signatures to assess changes
in trophic structure. He has also performed intensive studies
of arctic benthic communities and kelp beds. Dunton has published
more than 70 peer-reviewed papers and has supervised 18 graduate
students and seven post-doctoral fellows. He obtained a B.S.
from the University of Maine (1975), M.S. from Western Washington
(1977), and Ph.D. from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks (1986).
Dunton is currently a professor in Marine Science at The University
of Texas at Austin. |
