Daniel A. Livingstone

Daniel A. Livingstone

Daniel A. Livingstone is the James B Duke Professor Emeritus and Research Professor, in the Department of Biology at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina.[1] Born August 3, 1927 at Detroit, Michigan, Livingstone studied at McGill and Dalhousie Universities before joining Ed Deevey's research group as a PhD student at Yale University.

His research has primarily addressed issues of historical ecology, including lake ontogeny, forest history, fish biogeography, palynology, Quaternary bioclimatology, and the paleolimnology of African lakes.

He is the inventor of the Livingstone corer, widely used by American palynologists and paleolimnologists. In 1989, he was awarded the G. Evelyn Hutchinson Award by the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography.
