• Researcher IV

  • Jul 2014 - Oct 2017

  In my role as a contractor to the U.S. Geological Survey Coastal and Marine Geology Program, I developed Bayesian statistical models to predict shoreline and dune erosion and recovery on seasonal to annual timescales. I worked within the Coastal Hazards team to help generate hazard maps along US Shorelines under a range of storm and sea level rise scenarios. I conducted geospatial data processing and analysis using ArcGIS, Python, and Matlab. I also collaborated with the National Park Service to provide quantitative information to benefit the management of Fire Island National Seashore. Show less
