ArcGIS StoryMaps
The Species Protection Index
The Map of Life team and I created this StoryMap all about our new biodiversity conservation indicator, the Species Protection Index, to communicate our progress towards developing a measurable index of species protection status across geographic scales. Check it out here to learn how we calculate the SPI and how we can use this index to track species- and country-level conservation progress.

Conservation Recommendations for the Pacific Northwest
|
In ENV 744: Conservation Science and Landscape Planning at the Yale School of Environment, my classmates and I created a conservation report for the US Pacific Northwest based on a multi-use, dynamic landscape prioritization strategy. Using the MaxEnt software to create species distribution models and ArcGIS to perform spatial analyses, we developed a map of conservation priority areas to maximize benefits to biodiversity and carbon storage while minimizing conflicts with competing land uses and proposed strategies for achieving conservation goals equitably and responsibly.

Mapping Below-Canopy Inundation in the Maya Forest
|
My NASA DEVELOP team and I prepared a technical report for our project examining below-canopy inundation in the Maya Forest with remote sensing. In this report, we outline our two-level classification method using an object-based, machine learning classification approach to first identify forested areas in Landsat imagery and second uncover inundated areas before and during the wet season of 2008 with synthetic aperture radar.
