}}Diane McKnight (born March 22, 1953) is a Professor of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder and a Fellow at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR).[1] McKnight is a founding Principal Investigator of the National Science Foundation's Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program in the McMurdo Dry Valleys.[2]

Early life and education

McKnight received a BS in Mechanical Engineering (1975), MS in Civil Engineering (1978), and her PhD in Environmental Engineering in 1979, all from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[3]

Career and impact

After completing her graduate studies, McKnight began working for the US Geological Survey (USGS) as a Research Scientist for the Water Resources Division.[4] As part of her work with USGS, she conducted research on lakes in the blast zone of Mount St. Helens in 1980.[5]

In 1996, McKnight transitioned to the University of Colorado – Boulder,[5] where she became one of the founding Principal Investigators of the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research Program[6] in Antarctica's McMurdo Dry Valleys. While continuing to conduct extensive research in Antarctica, she also conducts research in the Rocky Mountains,[7] where she develops interactions with state and local groups involved in mine drainage and watershed issues.[5] In total McKnight has authored or co-authored over 300 publications.[8]

McKnight has been nationally and internationally recognized for her “seminal”[9] and “visionary”[10] contributions to Antarctic science. Her contributions to major scientific institutions include service on several National Research Council Committees; service on the Water, Science and Technology Board and the Polar Research Board;[4] and tenure as President of the American Geophysical Union Biogeosciences section.[10] In 2015 she was awarded CU-Boulder's Distinguished Research Lectureship, which the university cites as being “among the highest honors bestowed by the faculty upon a faculty member at CU-Boulder”. McKnight also was founding editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences.[10]
