I currently am in my sixth year at the laboratory, where I work extensively in the fields of climate change, biogeography, environmental science, and geographic information systems (GIS). I contribute to various laboratory research foci. At present I am working mostly on Climate-induced Vegetation Change: Past and Future and Climate Change and Sea Level. As the central piece of the former, I recently started examining how climate has limited plant phenology over the past several decades across the continental United States. For the latter, I employ spatial analysis and modeling to map areas susceptible to sea level rise and present the results through our dynamic map viewer, which in addition to the more than 100 documentaries, magazines, newspapers, and organizations that have used these analyses in their publications, has been viewed by tens of thousands of people.

Besides research activities, I currently administer many other facets of the laboratory such as lake sediment core archives, computers, and analysis equipment. Additionally, I perform media interviews in English and Spanish and give presentations about climate change and its projected effects.

Through these and previous endeavors, I have acquired several years of education in the natural sciences and work experience with large spatial datasets of various types, GIS standards, software, and tools, web-based GIS applications, and website design. My experiences also include several years of demonstrated management and communication skills and abilities. I look forward to applying my education and experience to the challenges that climate change presents as this topic globally becomes ever more important.
