Kenneth Belt
Dr. Ken Belt is an aquatic ecologist, ecohydrologist, civil engineer and photographer. He is retired, after 40 years with Baltimore City DPW and the USDA Forest Service/Baltimore Ecosystem Study but is still studying urban ecology and stream ecosystems. In recent years he has enjoyed teaching at UMBC and at the Natural History Society of Maryland, where he is a volunteer curator specializing in stream ecology and aquatic insects.
Presently he is writing about the “urban watershed continuum,” and applying its holistic perspective to the ecology of urban streams and their socio-ecological, engineered infrastructure. Also, he is using “community science”, photography and Humanities-based perspectives to connect urban residents to their ecosystems.
