Description
Excerpted from the website:
- I completed my Ph.D. at Utah State University in June 2002, titled "Bayesian Decision Networks for Watershed Management" which examines the use of Bayesian network models of physical and non-physical variables in watershed managment. My Master's Thesis was completed at USU in June 1998, titled "Seasonal to Interannual Streamflow Forecasts Using Nonlinear Time Series Methods and Climate Information" and focused on the use of nonparametric time series data analysis techniques for long-lead prediction of streamflow with application to the Yakima River Basin in Washington State. I worked for two years as a Research Assistant Professor at the Utah Water Research Lab (UWRL) at Utah State University in Logan, Utah where helped start and co-direct the Environmental Management Research Group (EMRG). At the EMRG, we developed software and provided training on different environmental management technologies including EPA's BASINS system, and our oringinal geographic information system (GIS) software, MapWindow GIS . I have also written software components for other programmers and distributed them through my legacy web site Stonehaven Software, and have done programming work for PAQ Services and Worker Rehabilitation Associates, Inc. In Fall 2004, I took a position at Idaho State University in the Department of Geosciences at the Idaho Falls, Idaho University Place extension campus. I am currently the program coordinator for the Masters of Science in Geographic Information Science at ISU, and I teach classes in GIS, GPS, and Watershed Analysis. My research program continues to develop along the lines of open source GIS tools, watershed modeling and probabilistic methods. Some assorted research related links are provided below.
