GIS & REMOTE SENSING MANAGER - TOOLIK FIELD STATION, IAB also
see "PROJECTS"
Responsible for design, oversight and execution of GIS and remote sensing for
Toolik Field Station. Duties include all aspects of designing, creating
and managing a comprehensive GIS with remote sensing support for a multidisciplinary,
international, arctic research station.
2001
University of Alaska Fairbanks – Fairbanks, AK
ADJUNCT PROFESSOR - NRM 341, GIS ANALYSIS also see NRM341
Designed and instructed mid-level course in GIS analysis including lecture content
and lab excercises/materials.
1998-2001
University of Alaska Fairbanks – Fairbanks, AK
LABORATORY TECHNICIAN – FOREST SOILS LAB, SALRM also
see "PROJECTS"
Duties include collection and analysis of field samples for forest ecology/forestry
research and processing and classification of GIS and remotely sensed data.
Required skills include proficiency in image analysis techniques and software
including PCI, ARC/INFO & ArcView, laboratory techniques for chemical analysis
of organic and soil samples, and detailed knowledge of field vehicles and equipment.
1997-8
McIntosh Trail Regional Development Center - Griffin, GA also
see "PROJECTS"
GIS COORDINATOR
Responsible for GIS operations providing data, maps and consultation to local
governments within a five county region in middle Georgia. Duties included
data development, cartographic production and design, and implementation of
local government GIS.
1996
Widener University School of Law - Summer Law Program - Kenya
ADJUNCT PROFESSOR
Gave series of guest lectures on interpreting scientific research, the
theory behind scientific thought, and the role of research in natural resources
management and policy. The director of the program indicated that ‘Adjunct
Professor’ was the appropriate title for this, though I did not teach any courses
in their entirety.
1995-6
University of Alaska Fairbanks - Fairbanks, AK also
see "PROJECTS"
RESEARCH ASSISTANT - TANANA FLATS REMOTE SENSING PROJECT
Thesis research involving use of multi-temporal, ERS-1 SAR data both alone and
in conjunction with LANDSAT TM data to classify and monitor boreal wetlands
in interior Alaska, USA. Field work included travel in remote areas
primarily by airboat to obtain a) GPS coordinates for ground truth, and b) vegetation
data. Twenty SAR scenes and two LANDSAT scenes, all co-registered, comprised
multi-temporal, multi-spectral data set. Analysis utilized ARC/INFO and
ERMAPPER software on a UNIX workstation, Solaris operating system, relying primarily
on standard Maximum Likelihood supervised classification techniques.
1994-5
University of Alaska Fairbanks - Fairbanks, AK
TEACHING ASSISTANT - GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Included teaching the lab sections of two courses in GIS. Required solid
foundation in GIS concepts and proficiency with ARC/INFO software, and the ability
to clearly explain and demonstrate concepts and skills to students. Also
includes UNIX system/network administration and maintenance, computer
lab upkeep and grading of written material. These responsibilities
extended to helping develop and teach several GIS workshops for the community
at large.
1993-5
U.S.D.A. Forest Service, Institute of Northern Forestry - Fairbanks, AK
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES TECHNICIAN
Worked on several research projects involving forest and wetland ecology and
the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, often in cooperative efforts
with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. Lab work included writing/adapting statistical
routines in SAS, performing chemical analyses on field samples, development
of a floodplain successional model, assisting in report writing, data management,
and analysis and presentation of field data, model results and remotely sensed
data using ARC/INFO.
