Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite
Look at the Waimak! Woah!
About me
I’m a research specialist on the calibration and validation team for NASA’s Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite mission. As part of the validation efforts, I have surveyed rivers and lakes from New Zealand to Alaska. Prior to working on SWOT, I earned a B.A. from Middlebury College, using InSAR and optical remote sensing data to quantify rock glacier kinematics in Utah. I’m invigorated by spending time outdoors, allotting summers to sampling water quality parameters for UW-Madison’s Center for Limnology and collecting glaciological data while learning how to tele ski with the Juneau Icefield Research Program. Outside of work, I enjoy looking at maps to plan adventures, mountain biking, and card games.

Yes, I worked for WHOI.
