The focus of my work as a Geospatial Analyst is quality control and updating of the Typology/SaRON geospatial database in ArcSDE; analyzing airborne and satellite multispectral remote sensing, digital terrain and field-based biological data within ArcGIS software to assess and classify salmon habitats and associated metrics of basin complexity and productivity; and computer programming using Java, Python and .Net for geospatial data manipulation and processing. I also am developing a project website, online user interface, and geospatial tools for user data visualization for the University of Montana NASA MEaSUREs project.
The final project I am working on is an on-the-fly subwatershed delineation tool allowing conservation specialists to delineate watersheds with associated statistics anywhere in the Typology Pacific Rim study area.
