Katherine Herries

Katherine (Kate) Herries is a Master’s candidate at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Her current research focuses on reconstructing sea level rise during the last deglaciation. She is using U-Th dating techniques on Hawaiian corals to resolve the age of the glacial meltwater pulse 1a. She is also analyzing the coral samples for post-mortem … Continued

Natalie Summers

Natalie Summers recently completed a Master’s at the University of Hawaii. Her research focuses on the biogeography of deep sea octocorals in the Pacific Ocean focussing on the Upper Bathyal (200-1000m deep). She is interested in using octocoral distributions to test how well proposed biogeographical provinces apply to the Upper Bathyal. Previously, she received a … Continued
