Andrea Dutton (born c. 1973) is a carbonate geochemist and associate professor of geology at The University of Florida. She specializes in paleoclimatology and paleoceanography, with particular interest in studying past sea level variation and applying her knowledge to make predictions about how sea level will rise due to the current anthropogenic climate change event.

Early Life & Education
Dutton grew up in Westport, CT and was always interested in science. She headed off to Amherst College, convinced would likely go onto medical school and was in fact a music major until she took a geology class and was "hooked"  ; she received her BA from Amherst in 1995. As it turns out, her great grandfather was also a geologist (assistant State Geologist in Missouri). Dutton later received her MS and PhD degrees from The University of Michigan in 2000 and 2003, respectively.

Career and research
Dutton completed a postdoctoral fellowship between the years of 2004 and 2005 at the Research School of Earth Sciences at The Australian National University in Canberra, Australia, where she then worked as a research fellow from 2006 until 2011. She has been working at The University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida since 2011. At both universities, she has specialized in paleoceanography and paleoclimatology, with specific emphasis on researching past sea level variation.

In November 2017, Dutton was named one of "25 People Shaping the Future in Tech, Science, Medicine, Activism and More" by Rolling Stone magazine for her groundbreaking research on sea level variation using fossilized coral reefs. Her research has also been discussed in such publications as The New York Times, which described her as "one of the world’s leading experts on rising seas", and The Washington Post.

As a climate change scientist, Dutton often speaks to the press about scientific findings and major climate reports. For example, she was interviewed by NPR's Morning Edition regarding the 2018 National Climate Assessment.
