So, I started looking for something new. I ended up taking an assignment with the Geological Survey of Canada to set up web mapping services on mineral occurrences in a common format across F/P/T. This led to another assignment w/ the GSC in program planning in Natural Hazards and CC Geoscience.

Hi folks! Finally making the jump here so I figured I would introduce myself.

I am in the middle of a career transition. I spent 15 years researching forest ecology and climate change, specializing in detecting tree range shifts and understanding underlying processes and controls under CC.
