What is the position of Monument Scientist?
The Monument Scientist serves as the primary liaison between the Forest Service and scientists engaged in research at St. Helens. The job of the Monument Scientist and staff is to document research that has been conducted such that baseline research sites and information from long-term studies are documented for the benefit of current and future generations. Another important task is to disseminate information about baseline studies to the scientific community to promote additional opportunities for research in the Monument. Our objective is to make scientists in the region aware of the tremendous baseline data available, opportunities for continuing existing research and the establishment of new studies.
