Forests & PlantsLandformsJenna Padilla, Geologist
- B.S., University of New Mexico
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- A geologist for the Forest Service conducts studies and investigations on projects where minerals and geology impact the development or management of the forest resources (e.g., trees, range land, soil, water systems, wildlife). Geologists also manage material projects that are conducted on public lands and mitigate Abandoned Mine Land features.

- Ph.D., Cairo Univeristy (Egypt)
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Geology is the study of Earth, the materials of which it is made, the structure of those materials, and the processes acting upon them. An important part of geology is the study of how Earth’s materials, structures, processes and organisms have changed over time.

- Ph.D., Yale University
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Paleontologists study fossils, and the rocks in which fossils occur, to understand how ancient organisms lived. This focus enables paleontologists to document and interpret the history of life on Earth.

Forests & PlantsSusan Best, Plant Pathologist
- M.S., Iowa State University
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- A plant pathologist specializes in plant health. Keeping plants healthy requires an understanding of the organisms that cause disease, as well as an undertanding of how plants grow and are affected by disease.
