Types of Scientist
Anthropologist: This scientist studies societies and cultures.
Applied Aquatic Ecologist: This scientist studies the effects of manmade change on aquatic ecosystems
Aquatic ecologist: This scientist studies the plants and animals that live in freshwater, and the interactions they have with their environment.
Avian Biologist: This scientist studies the relationship of birds with each other and the nonliving environment.
Biologist: This scientist studies living organisms and living systems.
Botanist: This scientist studies plants.
Chief scientist: This scientist leads other scientists in a particular research area.
Computer Specialist: Computer specialists provide help and advice to people and organizations using computer software or equipment.
Dendrochronologist: This scientist studies tree rings to determine climate changes and environmental disturbance through history.
Ecologist: This scientist studies the interaction between living organisms and their environment.
Ecosystem Ecologist: This scientist studies the physical and biological characteristics of an ecosystem and how these characteristics interact with each other. Ecological Economist: This scientist studies the relationships between human economics and natural ecosystems.
Economist: This scientist studies economics.
Entomologist: This scientist studies insects and how they interact with their environment.
Environmental Engineering Scientist: This scientist combines biological, chemical, and physical sciences with the field of engineering to protect and restore the natural environment.
Fisheries biologist: This scientist studies fish living in the wild and how they interact with their environment.
Forester: This scientist studies how trees live and grow, and how they help people and animals.
Geneticist: This scientist studies the DNA found in cells of every species.
Geographer: This scientist studies Earth’s natural environment and how it interacts with human society.
Geographic Information Systems Analyst: This scientist uses the relationship of information and places on Earth’s surface to produce maps. Using these maps and other information, these scientists evaluate what the maps reveal about any place shown on the map.
Herpetologist: This scientist studies reptiles and amphibians and how they interact with their environment.
Hydrologist: This scientist studies the distribution, movement, and quality of Earth’s waters. Landscape ecologist: This scientist studies the links between patterns and ecological processes across large areas.
Marine ecologist: A marine ecologist studies the interaction between sea creatures and how they interact with their environment.
Medical entomologist: This scientist studies medically important arthropods, such as fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.
Meteorologist: This scientist studies the atmosphere.
Ornithologist: This scientist studies birds and how they interact with their environment.
Plant ecologist: This scientist studies plants and how they interact with their environment.
Plant pathologist: This scientist studies plant diseases.
Policy analyst: This scientist compares different policies to determine which policy will best help achieve an identified set of goals.
Population ecologist: This scientist studies the dynamics of species populations and how these populations interact with the environment.
Quantitative ecologist: This scientist applies statistical methods and mathematics to problems in ecology.
Research Scientist: This scientist has expert knowledge of one or more sciences, especially a natural or physical science.
Social science analyst: This scientist assists social scientists as they study the values, opinions, beliefs, attitudes, and actions of individuals and groups of people.
Social scientist: This scientist studies the values, opinions, beliefs, attitudes, and actions of individuals and groups of people.
Soil scientist: This scientist studies the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics and behavior of soils and their management for both agricultural and nonagricultural uses.
Statistician: This scientist uses statistical methods to collect and analyze data and help solve realworld problems in business, engineering, the sciences, or other fields. Statistical methods include the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentations, and organization of data.
Systems ecologist: This scientist studies the way an ecosystem functions as a whole.
Systems modeler: This scientist uses an understanding of ecosystem relationships to construct models illustrating those relationships.
Tropical ecologist: This scientist studies forests, wetlands, and cities in the tropics.
Wetland ecologist: This scientist studies land based ecosystems that often flood or pond with water, such as swamps and marshes.
Wildlife biologist/ecologist: This scientist studies terrestrial wildlife species (mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians) and how they interact with their environment.
Zoologist: This scientist studies the behavior, origins, genetics, diseases, and life progression of animals and wildlife.
