Biography
Edward Brinton (1924-2010) was a research biologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), UC San Diego, who specialized
in the study of euphausiids, or krill. He graduated from Haverford College in 1949, and after obtaining his master's degree
from Bryn Mawr, joined SIO as a graduate student in 1950. He completed his doctoral dissertation on the distribution of Pacific
euphausiids in 1958. Brinton remained at SIO for the duration of his scientific career as a research biologist in the Marine
Life Research Group of the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI), an environmental program focused
on marine ecosystems off the coast of California.
Brinton's research centered on multidisciplinary studies of the effects of physical oceanography, ocean circulation and climatic
variations upon marine ecosystems. In the 1960s, Brinton served as scientific advisor for the Naga Expedition in the Gulf
of Thailand, as well as curator for the Indian Ocean Biological Center. Over the course of his career, he identified six species
of krill and published dozens of papers.
