Hi there 👋

BIO

Hi! I'm an earth scientist that works on applications of geomorphology and hydrology. I've enjoyed working on topics including: aeolian and fluvial sediment-transport, upland river hydraulics, eco-hydraulics, lagrangian particle-tracking applications of riverine larval drift and general dispersion, watershed modeling, and open-source gis workflows and web-services. I'm also a software developer with experience in C, C++, FORTRAN, and Python.

Education

  • MS, Earth Science, University of California, Santa Cruz 1993
  • BS, Earth Science, University of California, Santa Cruz 1990

Select Software Development Applications

Desktop applications

  • Multi-dimensional Surface Water Modeling System: Principle developer of Windows application for pre- and post-processing of computaional flow and sediment-transport models: MD_SWMS. This project is inactive and has been replaced by iRIC.
  • International River Interface Coopoerative (iRIC). Co-developer and designer of early iterations of the iRIC application

Python Packages

  • GDPTools: A python package for spatial interpolations of gridded datasets to arbitrary polygons using area-weighted statistics.
  • FluvialParticle A python package for lagrangian particle-tracking.
  • CSDMS BMI Applications A proof-of-concept study that applied the Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System (CSDMS) Basic Modeling Interface (BMI) to the U.S. Geological Survey's Precipitation Runoff Modelling System (PRMS).
