Earth, ocean, and atmospheric science
Irene made landfall on North Carolina's Outer Banks on August 27, 2011. Surge on the sound side was far greater than on the ocean side and pushed flooding far upriver. This analysis combined standard GIS layers with NOAA multidimensional NetCDF earth observation data to identify the meteorological and oceanic drivers behind it.
Code tool · Google Earth Engine
A fork of NASA's ORCAA Google Earth Engine tool, parameterized for clean water and health analyses of the Hilo Bay watershed.
Run during storm events since 2024
Web mapping · QGIS and Leaflet
A benthic view of the seafloor under each FAD. Hawaiʻi Division of Aquatic Resources buoy locations are overlaid on the Global Multi-Resolution Topography (GMRT) synthesis and published from QGIS as a static Leaflet map.
Ecology · infrastructure · highways
Occurrence, home range, and habitat modeling for Protected, Endangered, Threatened, and Sensitive (PETS) species, with a supporting GIS database, for roadway and infrastructure expansion on the Croatan National Forest.
Ecology · forestry · biology
Matrix evaluations of RCW population viability and impact scenarios for potential infrastructure expansion on Fort Bragg and North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission game lands.
Code tool · ETL automation
An ETL tool in PowerShell, Python, and T‑SQL that runs weekly data conversion and GIS publication for a county's citizen self-service permit portal, back-office review portal, and mobile inspection app. It joins operational and utility GIS data with tax data, validates the result against a data hygiene matrix, and reformats it to a third-party schema for delivery as GIS services.
In continuous production since 2019
Field project · cultural resources
Archaeological studies and GIS data collection on Guam, Saipan, Tinian, Sarigan, and Pagan in support of the U.S. Department of Defense Joint Guam buildup.
Field project · UNESCO
Detailed architectural mapping of the ahu and surrounding features, with excavations inside the structure to determine construction methods and collect faunal and botanical remains for analysis.
Living deliverables
Projects built for continuous updates, web delivery, or map books, produced with multiple stakeholders, or restricted from public release.
Writing and peer review
Whitepaper
A guide for DoD resource managers implementing legislatively compliant GIS and business data systems and answering open data and data call requests.
DoDI 8130.01 directs that all current and planned investments in IGI&S data, information, and IT conform to the DoD Business Enterprise Architecture and be visible, accessible, understandable, trusted, and interoperable throughout their lifecycles.
Compliance report
From the Historic Context section of a report prepared for permit review of a development project.
Hawaiian cultural landscapes can often be best described through significant Hawaiian place names, or wahi pana, and moʻolelo.
Peer-reviewed article
XRF analysis of basalt adze samples that reassigns source locations with greater precision and refines models of exchange across Western Polynesia.
