Some folks have asked to see what kind of maps I make at work. Here are a few (Adobe .pdf files, roughly 1,000 kb each)

Lemon Creek Watershed Recovery Plan maps (JWP) - Lemon Creek is an anadromous stream in Juneau that flows through a rapidly developing section of town.

• ADF&G Anadromous Waters Catalog Streams
• Stream-Adjacent Land Ownership
• ADF&G Channel Types by Reach

DRAFT Auke Lake Watershed Assessment maps (JWP) - Auke Lake is an anadromous lake near Auke Bay. The Juneau Watershed Partnership is working to develop a document to inform local decision-makers and guide future community development.

• Watershed Area
• Streams and Habitat
• Land Use
• NWI Wetlands
• CBJ Wetlands
• Land Ownership

Isostatic Rebound in southeast Alaska maps - Isostatic rebound (post-glacial land emergence due to uplift) rates throughout the Juneau area are estimated using a sequence of historic maps depicting Spuhn Island, Juneau, Alaska in this undergraduate GIS course project.

Lower Salmon River Thalweg Meander, Gustavus, AK maps (USFWS) - Landowners adjacent to the Lower Salmon River are concerned about rates of land loss due to meandering. A series of historic aerial images were used to visually demonstrate areas where active and historic erosion are located, including sites where bank stabilization occurred.

• Lower Salmon River thalweg meander 1948-2005
• Lower Salmon River thalweg meander - upstream zoom
• Lower Salmon River thalweg meander - downstream zoom

Currently enrolled "In Absentia" at Cornell University, I am completing my Master's of Professional Studies in the Biological and Environmental Engineering program. My work focuses primarily on Variable Source Area Hydrology and implementing simple web-based mapping tools for improving water quality.
