Scott H. Pike is a Professor of Environmental Science and Archaeology at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. His interdisciplinary research integrates geology, archaeology, and geospatial technologies to investigate ancient landscapes and cultural heritage. Pike's scholarship has focused on the provenance of marble used in the ancient Mediterranean, archaeological landscape analysis, and the application of drones, LiDAR, photogrammetry, and geochemical methods to archaeological fieldwork. He is the recipient of the Archaeological Institute of America's Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award and is committed to engaging students in hands-on, field-based research.

As a 2027 Fulbright Scholar, he will use drone-based remote sensing technologies to document wildfire-impacted archaeological landscapes in Greece, helping assess threats to cultural heritage while supporting training and collaboration among researchers, students, and heritage professionals through teaching and outreach activities at the Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory for Archaeological Science.
