Introduction to Geographic Information Systems
Research
I'm a Geospatial Research Scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) through the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder. I develop integrated bathymetric-topographic digital elevation models (DEMs) to support coastal inundation modeling. My research interests include quantifying the uncertainty in coastal DEMs, and incorporating that uncertainty and uncertainty in sea-level rise projections and storm surge models in future flood risk assessments.
