- Ph.D., Virginia Tech
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Forest soil scientists observe, measure, and analyze forest soils. We do this to make sure that forest management activities, such as trail building and timber harvesting, do not negatively affect the forest soil.

- Ph.D., University of Minnesota
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Soil scientists study how soils influence the cycling of water, nutrients, carbon, pollutants, and other materials. We also study similarities and differences among different soil types.

- Ph.D., Michigan State University
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- A soil scientist studies the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of soils, how they are classified, how they function, and how water moves through them. A hydrologist studies all the aspects of the quantity and quality of water cycle from precipitation to streamflow to groundwater.
