Geospatial analyst on a nationwide index integrating ~100 layers across social and ecological domains — infrastructure, health, vegetation, species, air, water, and cultural heritage.
Overview
At the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, I worked as a geospatial analyst on the Wildfire Resilience Index, integrating nearly 100 geospatial data layers across multiple domains.
Domains
- Infrastructure — exposure and capacity
- Health — population and vulnerability
- Vegetation & species — fuels and biodiversity
- Air & water — quality and availability
- Cultural heritage — nationwide exposure (see Publications)
Tools & methods
- R, Python, QGIS
- Spatial aggregation and weighting
- Deterministic and index-based modeling
