Ecology Center

Welcome to the Utah State University Ecology Center!

The Ecology Center supports disciplinary and interdisciplinary research and graduate degree programs in the ecological and environmental sciences, broadly defined; it also provides professional information and advice for decision-makers about actions that affect the environment. With state support in the University budget, the Center's program is a major mission of the institution. This website features some of the many activities of Ecology Center faculty and graduate students.

A primary Center purpose is to foster an academic community and curriculum that underpin excellent research and training in basic and applied ecological sciences. The Ecology Center brings together faculty and graduate students from several colleges and many departments to meet this purpose, and has the continuing goal of increasing opportunities for broadly interdisciplinary conversation, collaboration, research, and training.

We hope you will visit our website often. It will feature recent activities and findings of Ecology Center faculty and students, serve as a central listing for seminars and special events, and will advertise new courses, workshops, and other educational or employment opportunities.
