  Biography

Dr. Larry McKay is the Jones Professor of Hydrogeology and Chair of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of Tennessee (UT). This endowed position was created with a donation from Donald Jones (UT grad 1959) and his wife, Flo, to provide diverse opportunities for UT students in the growing fields of hydrogeology and environmental geology. Dr. McKay received a Bachelor’s degree (1981) in Geological Engineering from the University of British Columbia and a PhD (1992) in Earth Sciences from the Hydrogeology program at the University of Waterloo, both in Canada and carried out Post-doctoral research at the Geological Survey of Denmark in 1992.
