Scott Powell
Assistant Research Professor Ph.D. Ph.D., November 2004, Department of Ecology, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT. Master of Environmental Management, May 1997, Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke University, Durham, NC. Bachelor of Arts, May 1993Biology Department, Macalester College, St. Paul, MN. Research interests include forest dynamics; integration of remote sensing data, GIS, and field data for ecological applications; modeling aboveground biomass and carbon sequestration; land cover and land use change analysis; and invasive species monitoring.
