Dennis V. Kent is an American geologist and geophysicist who is a Board of Governors Professor Emeritus at Rutgers University and an adjunct senior research scientist at Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. His research focuses on paleomagnetism, geomagnetism, rock magnetism, and their application to geologic problems, including geologic time scales, paleogeography, ancient climate, polar wander, and the long-term carbon cycle.




Education


Kent graduated from Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan in 1964. He received a bachelor's degree in geology from the City College of New York, N.Y. in 1968 and a doctorate degree in marine geology and geophysics from Columbia University, N.Y in 1974, where he studied magnetism in deep-sea sediments.




Research and career


Kent joined the Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory as a research scientist in 1974 and the adjunct faculty in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Columbia University in 1981. He joined the faculty at Rutgers University in 1998. Kent and his co-authors developed chronostratigraphies based on magnetic polarity time scale for the Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Cenozoic. He has authored or co-authored more than 300 publications in the field of paleomagnetism, paleogeography, and paleoclimatology.
