布莱恩·C. 麦卡锡 is the senior associate dean in the College of Arts & 科学. He is also a professor of forest ecology in the Department of Environmental & 植物生物学. He holds a bachelor’s degree in biology, a master’s degree in botany, and a doctoral degree in ecology. As part of his training, Dr. 麦卡锡 gained considerable experience in experimental design, basic and applied statistics, and computer programming.
He came to Ohio University in 1992, has published over 125 papers in the peer-reviewed literature, authored or co-authored over 300 papers at regional and national professional conferences, received over $1.25 mil in research funding, and advised over 50 graduate students to degree completion. He has taught numerous courses including forest science, vegetation analysis, plant community ecology, and biostatistics. All aspects of his scholarship, 教学, professional service, and administrative duties are heavily dominated by data, 它的分析, and communication.
As senior associate dean, Dr. 麦卡锡 works collaboratively with the dean’s executive staff to oversee the operations of the college.

研究
麦卡锡's lab employs a combination of experimental and observational studies to understand the population dynamics and community ecology of eastern hardwood forests. Most broadly, his interests could be described as forest ecology.
Areas of interest include: ecological life history attributes associated with hardwood regeneration, ecology and restoration of the American chestnut, dendrochronology, forest herb community structure and diversity, ecology of non-native invasive plant species, forest restoration and mineland reclamation.
