Bio
Gregory Tatum, CRIS, CSHO
I have had the honor and privilege in attending some of Aaron's research presentations. It is with high standards that Aaron dedicates himself to environmental compliances, concerns, and impacts. Aaron not only involves himself with the tasks of improving environmental influence, but goes beyond in evaluating and validating the environmental risks associated from both a biological and chemical approach as to the overall short term and long term ecological effects. His knowledge and expertise in GIS and satellite imagery analyses is some of the best I have seen within the industry. I honestly believe there is nothing Aaron cannot do with Geographic Information Systems and satellite data, whether Landsat or European. Aaron's belief, drive, dedication, and integrity puts him in front of many that I have had the honor sitting in with. It is with these high standards of excellence that will make him a valuable asset to any company in which he choses.
