Alan J. Southward
British marine biologist (1928–2007)
Summary
Alan James Southward was a British marine biologist who studied marine ecology, barnacles, tube worms, and deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Southward was born and raised in Liverpool, England. He studied at the University of Liverpool. His PhD, obtained for that school in 1951, was on the ecology of the foreshore of the Isle of Man. Southward was a "world expert on the taxonomy of barnacles" and wrote two books on them, but was also interested in the ecology of hydrothermal vents, which he studied with his wife, Eve Southward. He retired in 1987 but continued to work and publish in the field of marine biology until his death in 2007.
