George M. Woodwell (born October 23, 1930) is an ecologist. He is an alumnus of Dartmouth College, class of 1950.[1]

Woodwell founded the Woods Hole Research Center in 1985 in Woods Hole, MA as an institute for global environmental research. He is Director Emeritus and is currently running major research programs to study the ecological effects of ionizing radiation on vegetation, and the role that biotic systems, especially forests, play in global warming. He was one of the first scientists to sound the alarm on climate change.[2]

In 1997 he was awarded the 3rd Annual Heinz Award in the Environment [3] and in 2001 he was awarded the Volvo Environment Prize.[4]
