Robert Warren Howarth is an American biogeochemist and environmental scientist. Howarth is a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University.[1] In 2023, The New Yorker cited Howarth as "one of the world’s premier methane scientists."[2] In 2011, Time named him one of that year's "people who mattered," for his research criticizing the presentation of natural gas as a "bridge-fuel" in the transition to renewable energy.[3][4]

Howarth studied oceanography at Amherst College, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1974, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, earning a Doctor of Philosophy in 1979.[1]
