Scott received a master's and a bachelor's degree at UCLA, and a PhD at UW-Madison.[9]
Career
Scott has published works about geology from many regions around the world,[10] including Mount Baker and Mount Rainier, Washington;[11][12][13] Pinatubo, Philippines,[14] Gerlache Strait, Antarctica,[15] and multiple locations in China.[16] He visited Dongchuan, China (in the Jiangjiagou Valley) in 1991 and 92, as well as in 2010, to be involved with the Dongchuan Debris Flow Observation and Research Station.[17] Scott chaired a 2004 GSA Penrose Conference session, Sector collapse, avalanches, and lahars.[18] He was also a convener of the 2007 GSA Cordilleran Section (a GSA event in Portland, Oregon co-convened by Dave Tucker).[19] He also ran a book signing event at the 2019 GSA Cordilleran Section.[20]
Scott has published extensively on the geology of the Puget Lowlands and Cascade Range volcanoes including Mount St. Helens.[21][22] His work was covered by the New York Times in 1987.[23]
Scott has worked with multiple notable geologists, including Dave Tucker,[24] and fellow Kirk Bryan Award winners Jon J. Major and William B. Bull.[25][26][27]
Scott is the author of the book The Voice of This Stone, detailing the events of different volcanic events from throughout history.[28][29] After the book was published, Scott was picked up by a local newspaper, The Columbian, who published a story on his geologic research work, and noted that he hails from the city of Portland, Oregon.[30]
