Charles Hilton Greene
Charles Hilton Greene is an oceanographer and Earth system scientist at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories. Previously, he was a professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. His areas of research include climate, energy and food security; conservation oceanography; marine bioacoustics; marine ecosystem dynamics; and zooplankton ecology.
Early life and education
Greene was born on October 19, 1956 in New York City. After his father's active-duty military service was completed, his family moved to the Washington, DC area, where he completed his primary education. He graduated from Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, MD in 1974.
Greene received his Bachelor of Arts degree and the College of Arts and Sciences' Chancellor's Medal from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1978. He received his Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy from the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington in 1981 and 1985, respectively.
Greene was a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Postdoctoral Fellow in 1985 prior to joining the faculty at Cornell University in July 1986.
Professional work
Greene's principal contributions to oceanographic research date back to investigations begun during the mid-1990s as part of the US Global Ocean Ecosystems (GLOBEC) Northwest Atlantic Program. During these investigations, he led a component of the GLOBEC field studies that focused on the upstream drivers of ecosystem variability in the Gulf of Maine/Georges Bank region. Employing advanced acoustic and video imaging systems,[1] Greene and colleagues conducted whole-ecosystem surveys over multiple years that revealed previously unknown responses in the Gulf of Maine ecosystem to hemispheric-scale climate forcing. By placing results from these whole-ecosystem surveys into the context of data sets derived from long-term monitoring programs, Greene and colleagues demonstrated that decadal-scale ecosystem regime shifts in the Northwest Atlantic can be remotely forced by atmosphere-cryosphere-ocean interactions in the Arctic.[2][3][4] These climate-driven ecosystem regime shifts significantly impacted the Gulf of Maine cod fishery[5] as well as recovery of the critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whale population.[6][7][8]
Greene co-led several multi-institutional projects to promote research and development initiatives in bioenergy and food production from marine microalgae.[9][10][11][12] These projects, funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of Agriculture (USDA), laid the foundation for the Ocean Visions Marine Circular Bioeconomy task force he organized in 2020.[13] Syntheses from this task force concluded that advances in microalgae-based food production systems can close the projected gap in society’s future nutritional demands while simultaneously reducing agriculture's carbon footprint as well as its detrimental impacts on land use, freshwater use, and biodiversity.[14][15]
Greene has made significant contributions to ocean science education internationally. From 1993 to 2021, he organized several series of marine bioacoustics training workshops in Friday Harbor, WA; Santa Cruz, CA; Durham, NH; and Waimea, HI.[16] In 2024, he organized an advanced training workshop on marine heatwaves in Friday Harbor, WA.[17] Over three decades, more than 400 undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs from 32 countries were trained in these workshops.
Service and recognitions
Greene is a lifetime member of The Oceanography Society (TOS) and the longest serving member of the editorial board for Oceanography (2001–present). He has served as the representative for biological oceanography on the TOS Council (2018–2020) and chaired the selection committees for TOS Fellows (2017, 2019) and the Jerlov Medal in bio-optical oceanography (2018). In 2024, Greene was elected to serve a six-year presidential term (president-elect, president, and past president) for the Ocean Sciences Section of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).[18] Subsequently, he chaired the Section's selection committee for AGU Fellows. In recognition of his contributions to the ocean sciences community in research, teaching, and service, Greene was elected a Fellow of The Oceanography Society (2008)[19] and a Sustaining Fellow of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (2016).[20]
