I developed a Python-based QGIS plugin that enabled forecasters to create informative maps for partners and the public.

Summer 2015 - I collaborated with a geography faculty member to synthesize climate data from a network of automatic weather stations in the glaciated Llanganuco Valley, Peru. I traveled to Peru in July 2015 as part of an effort to maintain and upgrade the network with a new satellite data logger and an economical infrared sensor for detecting cloud cover. My research was focused on inter-annual variability of winds within the valley and how they can be used to describe the valley climate and… Show more Summer 2015 - I collaborated with a geography faculty member to synthesize climate data from a network of automatic weather stations in the glaciated Llanganuco Valley, Peru.
