Odum, Howard Thomas

Odum, Howard Thomas
▪ 2003

      American ecologist (b. Sept. 1, 1924, Durham, N.C.—d. Sept. 11, 2002, Gainesville, Fla.), often collaborated with his better-known older brother, Eugene (Odum, Eugene Pleasants ) (q.v.), who died a month earlier. After earning his doctorate from Yale University, he taught widely, notably at the University of Florida, where he founded the Center for Wetlands. His research and advocacy in southern Florida were a boost to the preservation of the Everglades. His work often looked outside ecology to incorporate disciplines such as economics and engineering. He was the author of Environment, Power and Society (1971). In 1987 he and his brother were awarded the Crafoord Prize.
