Keith Stolzenbach, PhD

Keith Stolzenbach is professor emeritus of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he built his career in environmental fluid mechanics. Stolzenbach earned his undergraduate degree before completing his Ph.D. in civil engineering at MIT, where his fellowship began in 1968. His research has focused on the transport and fate of pollutants in coastal and estuarine waters, including the behavior of particles and oil slicks in turbulent flows. His contributions to environmental hydraulics have informed water quality standards and remediation strategies.
