Scott Mitchell is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Carleton University. He earned his B.Sc. from Queen's University and both his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Toronto. Since joining Carleton in 2003, he has contributed extensively to the field of geography through various research projects and still collaborates with graduate students at Carleton’s Geomatics Landscape Ecology Laboratory. His research primarily focuses on the analysis of spatial patterns and environmental processes, examining the impacts of global change on agriculture, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. He develops analytical tools for modeling these spatial patterns, emphasizing agricultural ecosystems. His current work includes creating crop-specific extreme weather indices and exploring alternative climate scenarios affecting Ontario's agricultural sector. Scott's research interests encompass environmental modeling, spatial analysis, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and remote sensing, particularly in the context of decision-support systems for agricultural productivity and carbon cycling.
