Edward Brinton (January 12, 1924 – January 13, 2010) was a professor of oceanography and research biologist. His particular area of expertise was Euphausiids or krill, small shrimp-like creatures found in all the oceans of the world.

Early life

Brinton was born on January 12, 1924, in Richmond, Indiana to a

Mills College where his mother was Dean of Faculty[1][2] and his father was a professor. The family later moved to the Pendle Hill Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation, in Pennsylvania where his father and mother became directors.[3]

Brinton attended High School at

GLOBEC program in 2009.[9] He served as a major adviser and scientist for the State Department-sponsored Naga expeditions in the Gulf of Thailand[10] and, later, as the curator of the UNESCO-sponsored Indian Ocean Biological Center in Cochin, India.[11]
He taught numerous students in both venues. His Academic career continued at Scripps until his retirement in the 1991.

Family life

Brinton met and married Desiree Ward in 1948. He had four children and was widowed in 1976. He remained unmarried until the time of his death. His primary residence was in La Jolla, California.
