As the Remote Sensing Specialist for the Beaver Lab at Collaborative Earth, I am responsible for creating the data workflow and pipeline to model the impacts of beaver dams. Specifically, I designed and developed a user-friendly web application that allows conservationist or land owners to assess the ecological effects of beaver dams on local landscapes. I did this by integrating automated Python and Google Earth Engine workflows to extract pixel-level spectral indices (NDVI, NDWI, EVI, LST) and terrain metrics across thousands of sites.

In this role, I direct project management, GitHub coordination, and cross-institutional collaboration, boosting output quality and accelerating delivery timelines

Upstream downstream sampling

Using elevation and waterway data, we are able to mask the upstream and downstream areas around the dam location for sampling. The code for this function is on github here
