Scott W Roberts has twenty years of experience as an aquatic ecologist, field biologist, and Geographic Information Systems analyst. His work experience spans across the United States including the Southern Appalachians of North Carolina and Tennessee, the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, the deserts of New Mexico, and the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.
Scott was trained as a geographer at Appalachian State University (B.S.) and University of Tennessee (M.S.). His graduate research examined the loss of the Eastern Hemlock from riparian forests of the southern Appalachians within the broader context of aquatic ecology, spatial analysis, and watershed resources. Scott spent five years with the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Lab where he explored how landscape-scale spatial patterns drive fine-scale biological processes in aquatic systems throughout California.
Scott contributes his expertise in aquatic ecology, landscape ecology, and spatial analysis to MSI. Scott lives in Durango with his wife, son, and daughter.
