Dr. Martin holds a Ph.D. in forestry from the University of Minnesota, was a faculty researcher at Oregon State University for many years, and a full professor at Northland College where he taught field based ecology and forestry courses for 13 years.
Over the years, he has worked on research to improve how we measure and scale forest productivity, how we understand the biogeochemistry of soils, and how climate and wildfire impact carbon cycling in forests. He also works in the field of canopy ecology, and discovered UV fluorescence in the fur of flying squirrels.
