Biography:
Dr. Scheller is Professor of Landscape Ecology and the Associate Dean for Research (ADR) in the College of Natural Resources at North Carolina State University. He grew up in Minnesota and received his B.S. from the University of Minnesota and Masters and Doctoral degrees in Forest Ecology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on how landscapes have changed, how they will change, and why it matters. Anthropogenic change will transform many landscapes in the coming decades, in ways that exceed our imaginations. To understand past and future landscape change, his research group studies land use change and landscape history; forest and ecosystem and landscape ecology; anthropogenic drivers of change, particularly climate change; and forest management and policy. His lab uses advanced forecasting tools developed to forecast landscape change, enabling decision-makers to compare the long-term effects of alternate management strategies. As ADR he supports the research missions of the college and university. He has published more than 100 manuscripts and book chapters, and one book.
