Carolyn Hunsaker, Ecologist
- Ph.D., University of California
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- An ecologist studies the relationship of living things with the living and nonliving environment. I study the forest vegetation, soils, climate, air quality, stream organisms, and water quantity and quality.

Michael Gavazzi, Biological Scientist
- M.S., Virginia Tech
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- A biological scientist is a jack of all trades. I work with other researchers in diverse disciplines to study forest ecosystems response to prescribed burning, climate change, and natural and man-made disturbance.

Katherine J. Elliot, Forest Ecologist
- Ph.D., University of Maine
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- A forest ecologist studies interactions among plants, animals, energy, water, and nutrients. A forest ecologist also studies how all of these things relate to patters and processes in forest ecosystems.

Julie A. Arnold, Forestry Technician
- B.S., Clemson University
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- As a forestry technician in the research field, my work is a balance of field work (i.e., collecting samples, taking measurements, and downloading dataloggers), lab work (i.e., sample preparation and analysis), and data processing (i.e., creating spreadsheets, charts, and graphs).
