Supports impact analysis and project coordination efforts within the NASA DEVELOP program.

Collaborated with the Ames Research Center (ARC) DEVELOP team to use earth observations to analyze eelgrass declines in the Coos Estuary in southern Oregon. The South Slough Water Resources team used Google Earth Engine to provide updated eelgrass extent maps, as well as water quality time series analyses to community partners.
