Contemplating	where	to	do	his	graduate	studies,	he	turned	down	Michigan	and	Cornell	because	he	didn't	feel	that	holism	was	embodied	in	their	approach	to	their	biology	departments.	Instead,	he	chose	to	pursue	graduate	studies	at	the	University	of	Illinois'	Department	of
  Zoology,	where	he	received	his	Ph.D.	There,	Odum	was	a	student	of	Victor	Shelford	whose	efforts	led	to	the	founding	of	The	Nature	Conservancy.	After	earning	his	PhD	in	1939,	Odum	was	hired	as	the	first	full-time	biologist	at	the	Edmund	Niles	Huyck	Conservation	and	Biological	Research	Station	in	Rensselaerville,	New	York.	The	430-acre	reserve
  was	established	in	1931,	and	its	research	station	was	established	in	1938.	The	reserve's	first	summer	explorers,	also	elected	in	1939,	were	Edward	C.	Rainey	[2]	and	Donald	Griffin.

  ecology.	With	his	brother	Howard	T.	Odum,	he	wrote	the	popular	ecology	textbook	Fundamentals	of	Ecology	(1953).	The	Oduma	ecological	school	is	named	in	his	honor.	Biography	Son	of	sociologist	Howard	W.	Odum	and	older	brother	of	ecologist	Howard	T.	Odum,	E.P.	Odums	credited	his	father	with	instilling	a	holistic	approach	to	learning	subjects.
  When	considering	where	to	do	graduate	work,	he	turned	down	both	the	University	of	Michigan	and	Cornell	University	because	he	did	not	feel	that	this	holism	was	embodied	in	their	approach	to	their	biology	departments.[1]	Instead,	he	decided	to	enroll	in	the	graduate	department	of	zoology	at	the	University	of	Illinois,	where	he	received	his	Ph.D.
  There,	Odum	was	a	student	of	Victor	Shelford,	whose	efforts	led	to	the	founding	of	The	Nature	Conservancy.[1]	After	his	Ph.D.	In	1939,	Odum	was	hired	as	the	first	resident	biologist	at	the	Edmund	Neal	Huick	Reserve	and	Biological	Research	Station	in	Rensselaerville,	New	York.	The	430-hectare	Sanctuary	was	established	in	1931,	and	its	research
  station	was	established	in	1938.	The	first	summer	scholars	from	Sanctuary,	also	selected	in	1939,	were	Edward	C.	Rainey[2]	and	Donald	Griffin.	Rainey,	who	is	currently	pursuing	a	Ph.D.	Green	frogs	and	bullfrogs	studied	at	Cornell;	he	went	ona	leading	ichthyologist	(a	zoologist	who	studies	fish).	Griffin,	who	received	his	Ph.D.	at	Harvard	he	dealt
  with	the	echolocation	of	bats	(he	later	became	famous	for	this	work)	[3].	Marriage	and	Family	Odum	and	Martha	Ann	Huff,	whom	he	had	met	while	still	a	student,	were	married	on	November	18,	1939,	at	their	home	in	Wilmette,	Illinois.	She	continued	her	artistic	activity.	Odum	was	very	proud	of	Martha's	achievements	as	an	artist.	She	often	painted
  landscapes	as	she	and	her	husband	traveled	throughout	the	United	States	and	abroad.	Martha	Ann	Odum	joined	her	husband	in	Rensselaerville,	where	he	continued	to	work	at	the	Hyke	Wildlife	Refuge.	His	research	included	the	study	of	Meise	and,	more	importantly	for	his	future	as	an	ecologist,	plant	inventories	and	habitat	mapping.	Its	purpose	was
  to	provide	a	basis	for	subsequent	exploration	of	the	earth	so	that	people	could	plan	and	manage	ecosystems.	He	and	Martha	had	two	sons,	William	Eugene	and	Daniel	Thomas	Odum.	Their	son	William	died	young,	at	the	age	of	40,	but	he	had	already	made	a	significant	contribution	to	science	as	a	professor	at	the	University	of	Virginia.	Academic	career
  at	the	University	of	Georgia	In	September	1940,	Odum	accepted	a	professorship	in	biology	at	the	University	of	Georgia	(Athens,	Georgia).[4]	In	the	late	1940s,	while	serving	on	the	board	of	the	university's	biology	department,	which	was	then	preparing	a	new	curriculum,	he	came	to	the	conclusion	that	there	was	an	urgent	need	to	include	ecology	as	a
  subject,	when	he	found	that	his	colleagues	usually	knew	what	ecology	was	(after	your	right).	He	founded	the	Ecological	Institute,	which	was	later	named	after	him.	In	2007,	the	Institute	for	Ecology,	founded	by	Odum	at	the	University	of	Georgia,	was	renamed	the	Odum	School	of	Ecology,	the	first	independent	academic	branch	of	a	research	university
  devoted	to	ecology.	As	a	professor	at	the	University	of	Georgia,	Odum	also	established	two	field	research	stations,	the	University	of	Georgia	Marine	Institute	and	the	Savannah	River	Ecology	Laboratory.	WorkIn	the	1940s	and	1950s,	"ecology"	was	not	yet	a	discipline	that	could	be	described	as	a	separate	discipline.	Even	professional	biologists	seemed
  to	Odum	generally	insufficiently	aware	of	the	interactions	of	Earth's	ecological	systems.	Odum	emphasized	the	importance	of	ecology	as	a	discipline	that	should	be	a	fundamental	aspect	of	training	biologists.	Odum	adopted	and	developed	the	term	"ecosystem".	Although	sometimes	said	to	have	been	coined	by	Raymond	Lindemann	in	1942,	the	term
  "ecosystem"	first	appeared	in	a	1935	article	by	British	ecologist	Arthur	Tansley	[5]	and	was	coined	in	1930	by	Tansley's	colleague	Arthur	Roy	Clapham.	Before	Odum,	the	ecology	of	individual	organisms	and	environments	was	studied	on	a	more	limited	scale	within	the	separate	disciplines	of	biology.	Many	scholars	doubted	whether	it	could	be	studied
  on	a	large	scale	or	as	a	separate	discipline.	Odum	wrote	an	environmental	textbook	with	his	brother	Howard	Thomas	Odum,	a	Yale	graduate.	The	Odum	brothers'	book	(first	edition,	1953)	Basics	of	Ecology	was	the	only	textbook	in	the	field	for	about	ten	years.	Among	other	things,	the	Odums	studied	how	one	natural	system	can	interact	with	another.
  Ecology	While	Odum	wanted	to	influence	the	knowledge	base	and	thinking	of	fellow	biologists	and	college	and	university	students,	his	historical	role	was	not	to	support	the	public	environmental	movement	as	we	know	it	today.	However,	his	dedication	in	the	1963	book	Ecology	states	that	his	father	inspired	him	"to	seek	a	more	harmonious	relationship
  between	man	and	nature".	In	1970,	when	the	first	Earth	Day	was	organized,	Odum's	concept	of	a	living	Earth	as	a	global	set	of	interconnected	ecosystems	became	one	of	the	key	ideas	of	the	environmental	movement	that	has	since	spread	around	the	world.	However,	he	was	an	independent	thinker	who	was	sometimes	slightly	critical	of	slogans	and
  fashion	concepts.in	motion.	Odum's	will	stipulated	that	after	his	death,	his	26	acres	(110,000	m2)	on	the	middle	Oconee	River	in	Athens,	Georgia,	would	be	sold	and	developed	according	to	the	plans	he	had	set	forth	before	his	death.	He	often	showed	his	friends	and	colleagues	hand-drawn	plans	of	his	vision	for	this	green	community.	The	plans
  included	more	than	50	percent	of	the	property	protected	by	green	space	and	walking	trails	managed	by	the	Oconee	River	Land	Trust.	Profits	from	the	sale	of	the	land	will	go	to	the	Eugene	and	William	Odum	Environmental	Foundation,	following	a	$1	million	endowment	for	a	UGA	professorship	in	Odum's	name.	The	land	was	sold	to	builder	John	Willis
  Homes,	who	is	carrying	out	Odum's	wishes	for	the	Beach	Creek	Preserve.	Odum's	financial	contributions	were	concentrated	not	only	at	the	University	of	Georgia,	but	also	at	the	University	of	Virginia,	where	his	son	was	an	instructor,	and	at	the	University	of	North	Carolina,	where	his	father	was	a	prolific	scholar.	After	all,	his	wealth	—	partly	from
  book	royalties	—	benefited	the	institutions	he	respected.	The	Ecological	Society	of	America	offers	the	Eugene	P.
