Mike Howe
Assistant Professor | USU Department of Wildland Resources
Mike is a forest entomologist and disturbance ecologist who is interested in understanding where, when, and how forest insect outbreaks occur as well as their impacts on forested ecosystems. At Utah State University, Mike continues to research how the population dynamics of forest insects are affected by climatic and global change and how forest insect outbreaks alter forest structure, fuel loading, and wildfire dynamics. Outside of work, Mike likes to cross-country ski, mountain bike, run, and hike all over the Bear River Range.
