		Eugene P. Odum (1913-2002) was an American scientist who is often referred to as "the father of ecosystem ecology".
		Odum brought forward the importance of ecology as a discipline that should be a fundamental dimension of the training of a biologist.
		While Odum did wish to influence the knowledge base and thinking of fellow biologists, and college and university students, his historical role was not as a promoter of public environmentalism as we now know it.

		UGA's Gene Odum was into ecology before it was cool By Frank Steele Daily News Athens bureau ATHENS -- In 1940, Eugene Odum arrived at the University of Georgia as a professor of biology.
		Odum's father was a sociologist who stressed looking at people's regional backgrounds, and that, coupled with Odum's outdoorsy nature, led him to study birds, and then the environment.
		And as his father's interest in sociology partially attracted him to scholarship, so did Odum's enthusiasm for the environment affect his younger brother, H.T., who did pioneering research on wetlands and now teaches at the University of Florida, and his son, Bill, is an ecologist at the University of Virginia.

	Howard T. Odum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Howard Thomas Odum (1924–2002), known as H.T. Odum or Tom Odum, was an American ecosystem ecologist and a professor at the University of Florida.
		Odum’s most important contribution is the concept of "Emergy", sometimes briefly defined as "energy memory." Odum looked at natural systems as having been formed by the use of various forms of energy in the past.
		Odum elaborated that "emergy is a measure of energy used in the past and thus is different from a measure of energy now.

		Odum later remarked that his transition from the physiology of the individual to ecosystems was a natural one, since as he put it, its not such a big step to go from physiology on one level to physiology on the ecosystem level.
		Eugene Odum's skills as an ecologist notwithstanding, his abilities to grasp complex ideas and write about them in ways that were understandable to younger scientists and students is one of his enduring legacies.
		Odum took advantage of this and in 1951 began a long-term study of succession, always a strong interest of his, on the unused portion of abandoned land on the plant.
