In addition, I use these techniques to investigate the responses of ecosystems to climate change. Multi-proxy records from sediments show the timing of vegetation changes following rapid shifts in climate. Recent work with corals is investigating the response of coral symbionts to environmental stress including thermal bleaching and exposure to pathogens.<\/p>\n\t<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/research\/research-copy\/\">Research<\/a><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/research\/research-copy\/#Climate_change\">Climate change and reef health from coral archives<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/research\/research-copy\/#Coral_Health\">Coral Health<\/a><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/research\/research-copy\/#Radiocarbon\">Radiocarbon as a dating tool and geochemical tracer of the carbon cycle<\/a><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/research\/research-copy\/#Sediment\">Sediment Records of Climate and Environmental Change<\/a><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/education-outreach\/\">Education\/Outreach<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to working with students and postdocs, providing research training and opportunities for fieldwork and exposure to the research com-munity at international conferences. &#8230;<\/p>\n\t<h3>Galleries<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Coming soon!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2017\/04\/HughenCV-1_17-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload CV\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<h3>Education<\/h3>\n<p>Ph.D.: University of Colorado, Boulder &#8211; Geological Sciences, 1997<\/p>\n<p>B.S.: University of California, Santa Cruz &#8211; Biology and Geology, double major, 1991<\/p>\n\t<h3>Awards and Honors<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>WHOI Doherty Chair in Education, 2014-2016<\/li>\n<li>NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship, 1997-2000<\/li>\n<li>DOE Alexander Hollaender Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship, 1997 (declined)<\/li>\n<li>NASA Earth Systems Science Graduate Research Fellowship, 1995-1997<\/li>\n<li>Univ. of Colorado Doctoral Fellowship, 1991<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<h3>Expeditions\/Research Sites<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2017\/04\/Slide2_sm-300x159.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"159\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Click on the above image to see a larger map of the Hughen Lab&#8217;s expeditions and research sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fieldwork on Glovers Reef, Belize Dr. Konrad Hughen Senior Scientist Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Contact Information: Work: 508-289-3353 khughen@whoi.edu Building: Clark Mailing Address: 266 Woods Hole Road,\u00a0MS #25 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole, MA 02543 Research Interests My research generally seeks to reconstruct past changes in climatic and environmental conditions in order to understand&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1040,"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions\/1040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/staff\/khughen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
