Langdon Quetin received
his Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in Biology from the University
of California, Santa Barbara. After spending two years in Australia
as a Queen Elizabeth II Fellow in Marine Science, Langdon and
Dr. Robin Ross, his collaborator and wife, returned to Santa
Barbara in 1981 to begin what became a career, working in the
Antarctic marine realm. Studies during the 1980s through the
mid-1990s focused on the physiology of Antarctic krill, Euphausia
superba. During this period, they developed techniques
to dive in winter pack ice to study the association of Antarctic
krill and pack ice. Langdon and Robin were the initial co-Lead
Principal Investigators of the Palmer Long-Term Ecological Research
program (Palmer LTER) beginning in 1990, and their work expanded
to document cycles and trends in the distribution and abundance
of prominent Antarctic zooplankton. Langdon and Robin currently
remain associated with the Palmer LTER and are Research Biologists
at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
