He holds two degrees from Colorado State University (B.A., Biological Anthropology, B.A., Sociology – Criminology/Criminal Justice) and is currently a Masters student and graduate research assistant in the Anthropology Department at the University of Wyoming. His research focuses on the potentials and drawbacks of spatial data, specifically LiDAR, and how these datasets can be used to build on current understandings of the Ancestral Puebloan occupation of the American Southwest. Logan is a collaborator of many archaeological investigations across the greater Four Corners region, including the Far View Archaeological Project (FVAP) in Mesa Verde National Park, the Aztec Ruins National Monument Historic Inscription Documentation Project, Crow Canyon’s Research Institute Associates (in LiDAR), and other independent research endeavors.
