I've scheduled my thesis defense for 4:00 pm November 6th in Mackay Science. I'm excited about finishing my master's and presenting the results of my thesis.
I've introduced this blog as a way to share GIS tips and techniques for ecologists and land managers. With more spatial data available than ever and spatial data being more central to ecological studies having straightforward solutions would likely help many people. I'll share some of what I've learned along the way and hopefully that will help some folks.
My background: I've had a lifelong interest in all things geographical since elementary school. I attended the University of Alaska Fairbanks majoring in geography, but with an interest in landscapes and ecology. After university I worked for the Bureau of Land Management in Glennallen and Fairbanks Alaska doing GIS work for land use planning. Then I returned to a university setting where I did my master's in geography at the University of Nevada Reno. I graduated in 2007 and began working for Dr. Peter Weisberg in the Great Basin Landscape Ecology Lab at UNR where I am today.
