Bio

In broad academic terms, my education and experience make me a geographer, but practically speaking I do geospatial data science. I’m currently a Data Scientist with the Arête Glacier Initiative where I’m working to build better forecasts of sea-level rise.

Previously, I spent 6+ years researching applications of remote sensing in forest ecology and management. I carried out this research as a Postdoctoral Scholar with Oregon State University and the USFS RMRS Forest Inventory and Analysis unit in Riverdale, Utah, and as Research Assistant with the Climate and Applied Forest Research Institute while I earned my Ph.D. at SUNY ESF. The bulk of that work is reflected in the papers and presentations tabs on this site.
