Biography
Kenneth S. Norris was a renowned naturalist, conservationist, and professor known for his
ground-breaking research on dolphins and whales. He was a pioneer in the study of dolphin
behavior, particularly in early research on echolocation, and his long career included
research and teaching in desert geology, herpetology, and ichthyology, as well as marine
mammal science, with positions at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCLA, the
Marineland of the Pacific, the Oceanic Institute and Sea Life Park in Hawai'i, and UC Santa
Cruz. While working in Santa Cruz, Norris helped establish the Center for Coastal Marine
Studies (now the Institute of Marine Sciences) and the Long Marine Laboratory, the
University of California Natural Reserve System, the Natural History Field Quarter program,
and was involved in the passage of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972. His many
published works include
Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises (1966),
Dolphin Days (1991), and
Mountain Time (2010).
Norris was born in Los Angeles, California on August 11, 1924 and graduated from Van Nuys
High School in 1942. He received his B.A. and M.A. in Zoology from the University of
California, Los Angeles in 1948 and 1951, and subsequently did his doctoral research at
Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, where he met his wife Phyllis (Phylly)
Norris, with whom he had four children. Norris received his Ph.D. in 1959 and his doctoral
work on the Opaleye Perch, an intertidal fish, received the Mercer Award from the Ecological
Society of America in 1963.
In 1953, Norris was hired as the founding curator at Marineland of the Pacific, where he
began his research on dolphin echolocation. Norris later returned to UCLA to teach biology
and herpetology in 1959 and continued his previous research on desert reptiles. From 1968 to
1971, Norris was the research director at the Oceanic Institute in Hawai'i, and divided his
time between teaching and research at UCLA and marine mammal research in Hawai'i.
Norris joined the faculty at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1972. He served as
the director of UCSC's Center for Coastal Marine Studies (now the Institute of Marine
Sciences) and helped establish the Joseph M. Long Marine Laboratory. Norris later joined the
Environmental Studies Department at UCSC as a professor of natural history, and chaired the
department from 1977 to 1979. During his time at UCSC, Norris created the Natural History
Field Quarter, a course on the natural history of California wherein students gain
first-hand experience in different habitats across the state. Norris taught this popular
field course from its first offering in 1973 up until his retirement from UCSC in 1990.
Norris has been credited with founding the field of cetacean research and has produced
numerous publications, such as
Dolphin Days: the Life and Times of the Spinner
Dolphin
, a book which received the John Burroughs Medal in 1992, and
Mountain Time, a book which encapsulates Norris's life work and legacy that
was published posthumously in 2010. Norris also had a direct impact on public policy. He was
a scientific adviser to the U.S. Marine Mammal Commission and helped draft the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972.
One of Norris's most enduring legacies is the UC Natural Reserve System (UCNRS), which he
played a key role in founding. In 1963, he presented a system wide plan for the UCNRS to
former UC President Clark Kerr. He later chaired the original UCNRS Advisory Committee from
1965 to 1968, and in 1966 he travelled around the state surveying potential sites for the
reserves. In 1998, the UCNRS received a $4 million endowment from the David and Lucile
Packard Foundation, named the Kenneth S. Norris Endowment Fund for the California
Environment in Norris's honor. A few months later, Norris passed away on August 16, 1998 in
San Francisco, California.

Lectures from Norris's speaking engagements at conferences, guest lectures, and other
teaching activities are also included, as well as some earlier teaching materials from
his career at UCLA.
Field Quarter
1977-1989
Scope and Contents
Materials in the Field Quarter section are arranged in chronological order.
Historical Note
Natural History Field Quarter (NHFQ) began as, and continues to be, a unique
qualitative educational experience for undergraduate students at UC Santa Cruz, and a
way to get them outside learning about the world. Begun by Ken Norris in 1973 in close
conjunction with the UC Natural Reserve System, Field Quarter is a composite of three
field classes revolving around land management and the various landscapes of
California. It offers hands-on learning in a communal setting and fosters a strong
sense of inquiry and creativity based on observations and full immersion in the
natural world. Every spring, a group of students heads out to various distinct
ecosystems around the state, returning back with knowledge of the patterns and
processes that together shape California, and often with a strong sense of stewardship
for wild lands.
