Bio

I am a forest ecology research associate working on the Canopy Database Project (canopy.evergreen.edu) based at The Evergreen State College. The project's mission is to address issues of data acquisition, management, analysis and exchange relating to canopy studies at all stages of the research process. We develop informatics tools for canopy scientists, document and publish datasets that demonstrate use of these tools, characterize (and formalize in informatics terms) fundamental structures of the forest canopy, and relate those structures to functional characterizations for retrospective, comparative, and integrative studies. I have a MS in Forest Science from Oregon State University and a BSc(Hons) from UBC in Chemistry and Biology. I have experience working as both a fish biologist and a forest ecologist.
