Biography Hughes earned his bachelor of science degree (1984) and his master of arts degree (1990) at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England. After coming to Alaska, Hughes studied with Jim Reynolds and received his Ph.D. in 1991 at UAF. Hughes became an assistant professor of fisheries at UAF in September 1998. Hughes was an expert in stream salmonid ecology and conducted research both in Interior Alaska and New Zealand. Memories of Nick Hughes from UAF faculty, staff and students: " The thing I remember most about Nick Hughes was that he would seek out a larch tree in a forest of spruce. Alaska could use more biologists like Nick who still display wonder at the small things around them." - - Lauren Tuori

Quarantasei anni dopo il suicido di sua madre, la poetessa Sylvia Plath, Nicholas Hughes si è impiccato nella sua casa in Alaska. Da anni combatteva contro la depressione. Aveva lasciato la cattedra di Scienze oceaniche all' università di Fairbanks per mettere su una fabbrica di ceramiche. Nicholas Hughes era nato 47 anni fa dal matrimonio fra la Plath e Ted Hughes, anche lui poeta. Non era sposato e non aveva figli.
