Patrick Scott Druckenmiller is a Mesozoic paleontologist, taxonomist, associate professor of geology, Earth Sciences curator, and museum director[1][2] of the University of Alaska Museum of the North, where he oversees the largest single collection of Alaskan invertebrate and vertebrate fossils.[3] He has published work on plesiosaurs,[4][5][6] ichthyosaurs,[7][8][9] mastodons,[10] and dinosaurs[11][12][13] in the United States, Svalbard, and Canada. He has co-authored papers on discussions of mass extinctions[14] and biogeography. Much of his work has focused on Arctic species.[15] He is a member of the Spitsbergen Jurassic Research group, which focuses on marine reptiles.[16]
