Grant Domke, Research Forester
- Ph.D., University of Minnesota
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- As a forester, I study carbon dynamics in forest ecosystems. I develop and improve techniques to estimate forest carbon stocks and changes to the carbon stocks using forest inventory information.

Dan Dey, Project Leader & Research Forester
- Ph.D., University of Missouri
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- As a forester, I assess silvicultural practices to restore and sustainably manage forests, woodlands, and savannas. Silviculture is the practice of establishing, growing, and managing the health and quality of forests to meet diverse needs and values of society.
