“I’m really looking forward to combining my meteorological and geospatial knowledge, along with my research abilities and government experience, to help improve emergency management and decision-maker capabilities.”
Scott Runyon
Associate Scientist
Mr. Runyon received a B.S. in Geoscience with a Physics minor from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in 1999, and both an M.S. in Atmospheric Science and a Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Systems and Spatial Analysis from SUNY/University at Albany in 2011. Mr. Runyon has nearly 10 years of government experience, working in applied meteorology and transport & dispersion modeling, as well as in remote sensing and geospatial analysis.
From 2016 to 2021, Mr. Runyon was a government contractor at Defense Sciences, Inc., and worked in the Technical Reachback division at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) at Fort Belvoir. There, he was one of 30+ analysts that worked to provide 24/7/365 CBRNE and HazMat subject matter expertise and decision-maker support to partner federal agencies, state & local first responders, and emergency management entities. While at Reachback, Mr. Runyon was both a meteorology and GIS SME and rose to become an operational Shift Lead and the Meteorology Team Lead overseeing personnel and R&D projects.
Prior to DTRA, Mr. Runyon was a Research Associate in the Department of Physics, working in the Remote Sensing Center at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, CA. There he was involved in a variety of projects involving the use of satellite- and aerial-borne hyperspectral and multispectral imagery, in addition to using terrestrial and airborne LiDAR data. Before joining NPS, Mr. Runyon worked at H2H Associates, LLC, a consulting firm that provides geologic and environmental services. He has also taught college-level courses in both atmospheric science and environmental science.
In 2021, Mr. Runyon accepted a position at Aeris and is currently serving as an associate scientist.
