"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:

• Re-elected to IUGS Commision for Management and Application of Geoscience Information (CGI)
  
• Portland Pulse goes live!!!
• National Geologic Map Database (NGMDB) Portal goes live!!!
• 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
• "Named Glaciers" KML for Google Earth Western US, non-Alaska
