Charles H. Greene was born in New York, NY, on October 19, 1956. He received the B.A. degree in biological oceanography from the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO, in 1974 and the Ph.D. degree in biological oceanography from the University of Washington, Seattle, in 1985.

He spent a year as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in 1985-1986 at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, MA, before becoming a Visiting Assistant Professor in 1986 at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. He is now an Associate Professor in the Geology Department at Cornell and is Director of Cornell's Ocean Resources and Ecosystems Program. His research has focused on the ecology of marine zooplankton, with primary emphasis on predator-prey interactions, zooplankton patchiness, and bioacoustical oceanography. He has been involved in the technological development of a number of acoustic remote-sensing systems, including Remotely Operated Vehicles with Environmental Remote Sensing Equipment (ROVERSE) technology, Dual-Beam Acoustics Deployed on a Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (D-BAD MOCNESS), and the BIo-Optical Multifrequency Acoustics and Physical Environmental Recorder (BIOMAPER). In addition to his teaching responsibilities during the academic year, Dr. Greene organizes and coordinates summer teaching workshops on the topic of Bioacoustical Oceanography.

Dr. Greene is a member of the Acoustical Society of America, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Geophysical Union, the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, the American Society of Naturalists, the Crustacean Society, the Ecological Society of America, the International Association for Ecology, the Oceanography Society, the Society for the Study of Evolution, the Western Society of Naturalists, and the World Association of Copepodologists.
