Dr.
Ken Dunton is a professor in marine science at the UT Marine Science
Institute. Research conducted by Ken and his students range from the
study of trophic (food web) relationships in kelp beds, seagrass communities,
marshes, and coral reefs to the impacts of climate change in high
arctic ecosystems. Consequently his work has carried him as far north
as the Canadian Arctic Islands (74 N), to the Antarctic Peninsula
(65 S). An active diver, Ken has logged thousands of under ice dives
in the Arctic and Antarctic to study benthic plant communities. He
holds a private pilot's license and flies frequently in support of
his Gulf coast remote sensing research of seagrass beds and marsh
systems. Ken received a BS in Biology from the University of Maine
at Orono in 1975, his MS from Western Washington University in Bellingham
in 1977, and his Ph.D. at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks in 1985.
