Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 42, No. 2, Pg. 98:
Lloyd Keigwin studied geology at Brown University and oceanography at the University of Rhode Island. At Brown he was in the ROTC and after graduation, served on active duty for two years as a line officer on a destroyer escort in Newport, R.I. He maintained his affiliation with the Naval Reserve, retiring after 30 years as Captain USNR. At Brown, his interest in geology was stimulated by Leo Laporte, and his introduction to oceanography was through John Imbrie. Keigwin’s research interests have evolved from studying ocean and climate changes that occurred millions of years ago to those that occurred in recent centuries. Noting this progression, a National Science Foundation program manager quipped, “Soon he will be studying the future, and we won’t have to fund him any longer!” When not busy with family or having fun doing science, Keigwin works in his barn, trying to keep old sports cars running.
