Current Research
GIS admin/developer at the U.S. Extended Continental Shelf (ECS) Task Force's project office located in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) located at the David Skaggs Research Center in Boulder, Colorado. The ECS Task Force is a multi-agency collaboration between NOAA, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and directed by the Department of State (DOS) with contributions from several other U.S. agencies. GIS activities consist of the handling of more than three million square kilometers of bathymetry data, 28,000+ linear kilometers of seismic data, performing analysis, develping analytical products, and data maintenance activities and processes.
GIS developer on NOAA's Ocean Exploration and Research (OER) data management team based out of the NOAA office located at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Stennis, Mississippi. I am currently building and maintaining the NOAA NCEI's infrastucture to receive near-real-time data feeds being sent telepresence from NOAA's only research vessel, the Okeanos Explorer, and it's ROV, the Deep Discoverer, which are hosted map feature services avialble on NOAA's Geoplatform.
