Michael G. Hadfield

Michael G. Hadfield received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in zoology from the University of Washington. He spent a year at the Danish Marine Laboratory as a Fulbright Scholar, and completed his Ph.D. degree in biological sciences at Stanford University. He served on the faculty of Pomona College for two years, prior to joining the University of Hawaii as a research faculty member at the Kewalo Marine Laboratory. He has taught and carried out research at the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Laboratories, Stanford University’s Hopkins Marine Station, and the University of Southern California’s Catalina Island Marine Laboratory. He has also lectured and carried out research at marine laboratories in Japan, Mexico, China, Singapore, India, and Chile. He is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and has served as a President of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, the Western Society of Naturalists, and the Pacific Institutes of Marine Science. He has also served as an Editor or Editorial Board Member for the Journals of Marine Biology, Invertebrate Biology, Pacific Science, and the Journal of Experimental Zoology. Dr. Hadfield’s two major research areas are (1) larval biology, emphasizing settlement and metamorphosis of marine invertebrate animals, and (2) evolution and conservation of endemic Hawaiian tree snails. He has published more than 112 research papers and contributed to major compendia in these areas.
