Kena Fox-Dobbs is a Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies & Sciences at the University of Pugetsound. Her research focuses on the ecological impacts of human activities, including urbanization and climate change, using biogeochemical techniques to study fossil ecosystems and modern small mammals. She has conducted NSF-funded projects in Kansas grasslands and East African savannahs, exploring faunal responses to environmental changes over millions of years.
Education includes a BS from Brown University (1999) and a PhD from UC Santa Cruz (2006). She teaches courses on environmental science, paleontology, and biogeochemical methods. Recent student projects include studies on raccoon adaptation to urban environments and marketing strategies for sustainable agriculture.
Her work bridges paleoecological patterns with modern conservation challenges, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to understanding ecosystem resilience. Collaborations with geology and biology departments are frequent, as reflected in co-advised student projects.
