While the modern GIS world is rapidly shifting online, much of the core of my professional GIS work remains in the journal articles, manuscripts, and reports I have published over the years. GIS was a critical component of every one of these projects, not just for analyzing enormous data sets, but also to present them in a way that you can easily understand.
Publications at a Glance
California Mercury Modeling
Published 2020
Working with the California Department of Water Resources and the U.S. Geological Survey, this project modeled the flow of mercury through the Yolo Bypass and San Francisco Bay Delta watersheds in central California. In addition to my work initializing the model and analyzing the data, I created numerous GIS maps and figures that were published in the final report.
Meteotsunami Research
Published 2014
After a meteotsunami stuck my hometown on Cape Cod in 2013, this project studied the impact of squall-line and hurricane-induced meteotsunamis that impacted the US East Coast between 2000 and 2013. With proper maps, figures, and data analysis, we can better warn coastal communities about how to protect their property from this very unique phenomenon.
USGS Arctic Cruise Data Series
Published 2013
In 2010, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey embarked on a six-week cruise around the Arctic Ocean to study the effects of climate change on ocean acidification. Upon their return, they gave me the data set to analyze, create maps and figures, and put it into HTML format for displaying on the web.
