Dr. Paul T. Arnold
Professor of Biology - Mathematics, Science & Technology
Dr. Arnold joined the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓÆµ Faculty in 1987. Trained in botany, he enjoys teaching courses related to that field, as well as beekeeping, general biology, ethnobotany, and mycology. His research interests include plant/insect relationships, especially as they pertain to forest health issues and apiculture. He also is very interested in the ecology of plant/mycorrhizal relationships and the floral diversity of the southern Appalachian region. He supervises the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓÆµ Hemlock Project which uses biopredatory beetles to control Hemlock Woolly Adelgid infestation in Hemlock trees. He particularly enjoys working with ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓÆµ students as they explore the natural world around them through research in the field and the laboratory. In his spare time, Dr. Arnold enjoys hiking, geocaching, playing/singing/listening to music, and is a former hockey player and general sports fanatic.
