Projects:
Nehalem Strategic Action Plan (NSAP) Maps
The Nehalem Basin Partnership asked me to help re-work their Strategic Action Plan for the Protection & Restoration of Coho Salmon Habitat. I conducted new riparian planting and fish passage barrier analyses to prioritize restoration efforts, and created maps to showcase the newly prioritized sub-watersheds.

Nehalem Basin Partnership Data Layers Web Application
The Upper Nehalem Watershed council wanted a web map created with all of the relevant layers from their vast trove of GIS data, and an application that would allow non-GIS users to quickly and easily view and export maps for project prioritization and internal communications. I compiled data layers into a web map and created an instant app with functions to allow export and printing.

Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Storymap and Web Experience
I made this Storymap to showcase what a field season in Wyoming can look like for an IMBCR (Integrated Monitoring in Bird Conservation Regions) Point-Count Technician, and some of the beautiful places, bird species, and challenges I encountered throughout the state.
The Web Experience application allows users to explore the bird species that I located in each survey site, as well as a summary of early, mid, and late-season or habitat-associated birds and their locations.

Other Selected Works:
Chanterelle Habitat Analysis - Mapping Forest Treasures
An analysis of potential chanterelle mushroom habitat near Portland, Oregon. I used 6 predictive factors derived from LIDAR and satellite imagery (elevation, slope, aspect, potential soil moisture, forest stand age, and NLCD landcover type) alongside iNaturalist data to conduct a supervised classification of potential chanterelle mushroom habitat. I also conducted a network analysis to isolate potential habitat within a 45-minute drive from Portland, OR.

Foley Creek Dam Analysis - Do Beavers Like it Bare?
I created this project for the Nehalem Basin Partnership in December 2023 before becoming their intern. I used ArcGIS Pro and Excel to examine the relationship between beaver dams and forest clearings in the Foley Creek Watershed in Northwestern Oregon.

Mapping Thermal Refugia - Where to Go When the Heat is On
An infographic to visualize research on thermal landscape ecology in the Great Basin Ecosystem. The featured mountain range is color-coded by recorded high temperatures during a severe summer drought. The viewer can use the bar chart to see which animals would have possibly needed to move to different microclimates to avoid heat stress.

Crater Lake - Ruins of a Mighty Mountain
A map for the curious to visualize and imagine the place of Mount Mazama in the Cascade Mountains. I used a DEM of Mount Adams, a roughly similar-sized mountain, to create a floating visual representation of how Mount Mazama could have looked alongside the other Cascades.
