"Servin' Up Scientific Databases Since 1984"

I am interested in building databases of natural phenomema, in particular with the goal of providing data for groundtruthing models. I have worked in coastal systems, natural resources, groundwater, and most recently glacier change documentation for the last century.

Recent Projects:

Open Source GIS map of Oregon Geology

Raster and Vector assets database of Glacier Change in the Western US (open source GIS-based)

Dynamic KML generator for USGS Geologic Maps Database (Open source GIS)

Map-Fu: an Open Source web mapping framework developed in collaboration with PSU's Academic and Research Computing
