I joined the NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) in 2005. Since joining NOAA NCCOS, I have worked as a principal investigator on a variety of projects, characterizing, monitoring and modeling marine ecosystems in the coastal waters, territories and flag islands of the United States. My research interests include novel applications of state-of-the-art remote sensing and commercially available geospatial technologies.
