Scott Havens received the B.S. degree in civil engineering from the University of Colorado, Boulder, in 2007. He is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in geophysics at Boise State University, Boise, studying how snow microstructure affects remote sensing as well as remote detection of snow avalanches. Mr. Havens was the recipient of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Earth and Space Science Fellowship entitled “Characterizing Snow Microstructure with X-ray Tomography and a Snow Micro Penetrometer: Understanding Important Effects of Microstructure on Remote Sensing.”
