Consulting Services

I have 20 years of experience conducting applied research in the fields of biology, ecology, glaciology, hydrology, oceanography, and water policy/management. My research has included laboratory and field work, which has brought me to Antarctica, Europe, South Asia, and here in the USA.  My skills include project management, research design, grant proposal writing, collecting empirical data, managing datasets, data analysis, remote sensing, statistics, machine learning, writing publications to peer-review journals, and synthesizing data into data visualizations for broad audiences. Here is a list of the environmental- and water-related services I can provide and the products you can expect from working together.
