How He came to this field
Topics:
soil_research
GIS
He started out in the area of soil research, which was highly field-oriented at the time, consisting largely of digging up samples and identifying types. “When the GIS became available, that drew me into the technology. . . . I realized that a lot of the mapping and analytical work can be done with a computer.” He has now spent a decade in forestry research.
