• Quantifying carbon stocks across the Yellowstone to Yukon region• Identifying contemporary (~20 year) carbon emission and sequestration patterns

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

• Optimized machine learning data fusion algorithm to reconstruct provincial‑wide forest inventories with new remote sensing technology.• Led the design of a new process for automatically segment forest stands, reducing the life‑cycle of forest inventories that were previously updated every 20 years.• Interfaced between the research team and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry to operationalize the workflow.• Actively communicated complex scientific outcomes to stakeholders of various technical backgrounds.

United States And Canada

• Spearheaded the design of a social network analysis study to better understand the key people influencing maternal and newborn health decision‑making in rural India.• Coordinated quantitative and qualitative data collection and storage with a team in India, resulting in a robust database for easy manipulation and analysis.• Guided model development and managed code base within science team.

Montana, United States

• Leveraged remote sensing and meteorological observations to build machine learning models to predict future vegetation conditions under various climate change scenarios.• Managed communication and timeline of deliverables between a team of ecologists, climate scientists and land managers to develop predictions and use insights to guide land management strategies.• Compared the quality of remotely sensed vegetation datasets, improving model performance and providing future users with a protocol to assist in selecting data sources.• Facilitated the release of vegetation predictions to year 2100 and published an open source R package to generate high‑resolution daily snow cover estimates globally.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

• Developed a novel data fusion algorithm to leverage open source remote sensing datasets, resulting in daily 30‑m resolution estimates of fractional snow covered area.• Created new curriculum for a graduate level remote sensing course and hosted lab sessions to support students using R, ENVI, ArcGIS and QGIS.
