Howard Drossman

Research
Trained as a bioanalytical chemist, Howard’s current research focuses on biogeochemistry, environmental chemistry, and environmental education. He is co-founder of the Catamount Institute and Catamount Center, two nonprofit environmental organizations that provide programs enhancing ecological stewardship through research and education. His major current focus is studying how conceptions of ecological stewardship develop through education and experience. Howard is currently developing a Semester in Environmental Education Program, a residential study off-campus program, where undergraduate students learn about themselves as teachers and learners through extended teaching partnerships with local K-12 schools. Since 2005, Howard has been working with the NSF-funded Center for Multi-scale Modeling of Atmospheric Processes (CMMAP) at Colorado State University, where our partnership seeks to improve undergraduate Earth Systems Science education through new interdisciplinary classes and mentor graduate student fellows in how to teach such classes. Howard also serves as board president of the Catamount Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transdisciplinary education and research on ecological and geographical issues in the Southwest.
