Charles S. Hopkinson

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles S. Hopkinson is an American scientist. He is a professor of oceanography at the University of Georgia . He mainly deals with the biogeochemistry and ecology of water catchment areas , wetlands , sea-land couplings and the ecology of coupled human-nature systems.

Life

Hopkinson studied biology at Ursinus College in Montgomery County , Pennsylvania , where he received his Bachelor of Science in 1970 . He then went to Louisiana State University for a master's degree in oceanography, which he successfully completed in 1973. From 1973 to 1975, Charles Hopkinson was a research fellow at the Center for Wetland Resources at Louisiana State University. Four years later he received his Ph.D. also in oceanography. He then worked at the Marine Research Institute of the University of Georgia until 1989 and at the same time lecturer in the Department of Zoology from 1980 to 1989 . Since 1997 he has been a scientist at the Woods Hole Marine Biology Laboratory . In August 2010, he contradicted the US government's account that most of the oil from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico had already been removed. Charles S. Hopkinson and four other marine researchers came to the conclusion that about 70 to 79 percent of the oil is still in the Gulf.
