Work Background
US Army Corps of EngineersSr. Hydrologic Specialist
Nov. 2023Sacramento, California, United StatesProvide hydrologic analysis relating to USACE projects, including reservoir operations, climate change assessment, computer modeling and to represent the USACE on inter-agency and inter-governmental studies and reviews.
University of Nevada, RenoLab Technician / Hydrologic Field Technician (UNR Mountain Eco-Hydrology Lab)
May. 2020 - Feb. 2022Reno, Nevada, United StatesInstall and maintain equipment for field research. This included design of the experiment themselves, but also reviewing all field based apparatus and instruments deployed by the lab into the Tahoe Forest. My work included setup and configuration of pressure transducers, sap flow sensors, IR radiometers, thermocouples, soil EC (soil moisture) sensors, recording anemometers, ultrasonic snow depth sensors, fuel moisture/temperature sensors. Data Logger programming, including establishing reliable a year round power supply in a challenging mountainous environment without shore power. Establishing and erecting photovoltaic panels and backup storage capacity capable of withstanding extreme weather and snow events with little to no disruption to data collection. Record data from the field, maintaining strict controls preserving data integrity allowing integration into a relational database for wider scientific dissemination and research. Quality controls were performed to insure conformity over time periods and eliminate potential for introducing errors through mis-calibration or duplication. Establishment of lab and field protocols for consistent deployment of apparatus, including periodic servicing and maintenance. Mentoring of lab / student personnel to introduce proper scientific controls and methodologies were observed, including master data management, instrument and data logger programming and field deployment. Management of personnel and budgets was required, under the general supervision of the Principal Investigator (PI).
NASA Jet Propulsion LaboratorySnowEx - Field Scientist
Dec. 2019 - Apr. 2020Sagehen Creek Field Station (University of California, Berkeley)Performed snow pit excavation and performed grain size identification, layer/stratigraphy identification, SWE / snow density measurements at several transects along the crest of the Sierra Nevada in support of NASA's SnowEx campaign. Objective was to provide ground truthing measurements while NASA conducted overhead remote measurements to determine wide scale snow water equivalent (SWE) measurements using new / novel measurements techniques.
University of Nevada, RenoGraduate Research Assistant (Mountain Eco-Hydrology Lab)
Jan. 2018 - Nov. 2022Reno, Nevada AreaStream flow analysis and transport of sediment or pollutants in stream channels was facilitated using the USGS MODFLOW suite of tools. This included analysis to account for land use changes, increases in sediment and solute loading. Model calibration and simulation improvements were accomplished by acquiring large datasets using big data techniques, allowing for model simulation over a much longer period of time. Key to this success was the additional inclusion of model output data from SUMA (Structure for Unifying Multiple Modeling Alternatives). This allowed us to better simulate future scenarios based on current data that we ourselves acquired from field based observations. In this capacity, I served as the main point of contact for all field work in the Lake Tahoe Basin and the Sagehen Experimental Research Station, which included the University of Nevada, University of California and the USFS. This included permitting requirements for field experiments, and liaising with various departmental personnel as required over a three year period. Within the Lake Tahoe Basin, I supervised and conducted a three year study along with an interdisciplinary team to advise the USFS on canopy thinning strategies to insure snowpack retention as long as possible into the season. This included meeting with other USFS, state and local government officials to discuss hydrological issues.
