The Loss of a Colleague and a Leader

Dr. Ken Tenore

Dr. Donald Boesch, President
Center for Environmental Science
University of Maryland

Professor Ken Tenore served with great distinction as Director of the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory for twenty years. He left a legacy of greatly improved facilities and most of the Laboratory's outstanding faculty whom he recruited. In addition, Ken made his own excellent contributions to science as a world-renowned pioneer in research on detrital food chains. He brought to the Center's endeavors and student training thoughtful consideration of the ethical responsibilities of scientists. Finally, he initiated the Alliance for Coastal Technologies, an innovative collaboration of scientists at institutions across the country to develop and test environmental sensors for use in the ocean observing systems. His wisdom, grounding in the best traditions and penchant for innovation will be greatly missed.
