## Personal life

According to Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data, Scott was born in 1935.
Scott received a master's and a bachelor's degree at UCLA, and a PhD at UW-Madison.

## Career

Scott has published works about geology from many regions around the world, including Mount Baker and Mount Rainier, Washington; Pinatubo, Philippines, Gerlache Strait, Antarctica, and multiple locations in China. He visited Dongchuan, China (in the Jiangjiagou Valley) in 1991 and 92, as well as in 2010, to be involved with the Dongchuan Debris Flow Observation and Research Station. Scott chaired a 2004 GSA Penrose Conference session, Sector collapse, avalanches, and lahars. He was also a convener of the 2007 GSA Cordilleran Section (a GSA event in Portland, Oregon co-convened by Dave Tucker). He also ran a book signing event at the 2019 GSA Cordilleran Section.
Scott has published extensively on the geology of the Puget Lowlands and Cascade Range volcanoes including Mount St. Helens. His work was covered by the New York Times in 1987.
Scott has worked with multiple notable geologists, including Tucker, and fellow Kirk Bryan Award winners Jon J. Major and William B. Bull.
Scott is the author of the book The Voice of This Stone, detailing the events of different volcanic events from throughout history. After the book was published, Scott was picked up by a local newspaper, The Columbian, who published a story on his geologic research work, and noted that he hails from the city of Portland, Oregon.
