Michael Hren is a Professor at the University of Connecticut, specializing in Geochemistry and Paleoclimatology. His research focuses on stable isotopic analysis of organic/inorganic materials to reconstruct past environmental conditions, including atmospheric CO2 changes, biomarker tracing in sediments, and isotopic fractionation during biosynthesis. He holds a Ph.D. in Geology from Stanford University, and M.S./B.S. degrees in Geology from Dartmouth College.
His teaching includes courses on Environmental Geochemistry and Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry. Research highlights include studies on California stalagmites to understand fire-climate-vegetation dynamics, as well as global projects on paleotopography, river dynamics, and climate modeling. His work integrates machine learning for hydrological predictions and employs cutting-edge analytical techniques for biomarker analysis.
Key areas of expertise include speleothem geochemistry, fluvial geomorphology, and paleoclimate reconstruction. His publications span topics from Late Devonian mass extinctions to modern flood dynamics, demonstrating interdisciplinary approaches to environmental science challenges.
