Wrote programs in IDL, ENVI, Python (for ArcGIS), and Windows Batch to bulk-process NAIP and Landsat data in support of a USDA-funded project examining drought-induced tree mortality across Texas.Co-registered, stacked, and classified land cover for over 200 1-meter resolution NAIP images.See more information about the project and the Swenson group here!http://sites.nicholas.duke.edu/jenniferswenson/http://aschwantes.weebly.com/

Maintained operational NOAA/NESDIS products and implemented experimental products into operations. I accomplished these tasks via IDL programming and bash and Perl scripting. I upgraded the 50 km Coral Bleaching product suite to process 5 km input data.In addition to implementing new products, I monitored a handful of OSPO products (e.g., SST contour charts, SAR Coastal Winds, and Coral Bleaching) on daily and weekly bases to ensure that they were running as expected and, if not, I worked to correct any code, connection, or machine issues that had arisen.The products I maintained can be viewed here:http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Products/ocean/sst/contour/index.htmlhttp://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Products/ocean/cb/hotspots/index.htmlhttp://coralreefwatch-satops.noaa.gov/VS/virtual_station_alerts.htmlhttp://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Products/ocean/sar/
