Jillian LaRoe recently joined Applied Analysis Solutions as a Geospatial Scientist, bringing her diverse experiences working with broad scale satellite imagery, ecology, species mapping, vegetation characterization, R proficiency, and machine learning.
Landscapes are often complex, dynamic, and difficult to interpret, especially in relation to influences on local biology. Each landscape is different and represents a unique ecological habitat. FRAGSTATS is an established and robust spatial pattern analysis program that computes a wide variety of metrics to quantify landscape structure (composition and configuration).
Endangered species often have large and complex ranges, which can make it difficult to examine anthropogenic effects on the species. ESRI ArcGIS online tools can help visualize and analyze potential agricultural impacts on individual species. The highly-configurable Dashboard tool serves as a powerful visual aide and allows users to easily determine areas of higher concern.
Mr. Insinga brings a unique combination of expertise to the team, including experience in machine learning, statistical analysis, engineering, water treatment, and hydrology. He contributes over three years of experience analyzing and modeling environmental data in Python and has utilized GIS software, statistical analysis tools, and machine learning algorithms in a professional research setting.
Dana Christian joins Applied Analysis Solutions as a Geospatial Scientist bringing seven years of expertise in GIS and remote sensing. Her experience with the ESRI enterprise platform, along with both LiDAR and spectral remote sensing, provide additional skillsets to develop practical and effective solutions for your environmental challenges.
Applied Analysis Solutions is working with SIUE and Bayer CropScience to demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing information from freely available satellite image archives for habitat characterization of historic landscape patterns over a 25-year period.
Claire Holmes is applying her programming skills to make remote sensing investigations practical and accessible. She is helping clients understand how real-world landscapes relate to environmental exposure and ecological effects by combining her programming skills with satellite-based remote sensing data and image processing methodologies.
Elizabeth “Biz” Tandy joins Chris Holmes as part of Applied Analysis Solutions, strengthening our ability to provide clients with practical and effective solutions.
Biz brings over 30 years of environmental consulting experience and supports clients with proven abilities in hydrogeochemical processes, statistical analysis, technical writing, permit compliance, data research and analysis, and creative problem solving.
In 2017 ECETOC initiated a Task Force to investigate current capabilities in making spatially explicit chemical risk assessment. After comprehensive research for applicable and available data, we identified some of the challenges of using different levels of taxonomic, spatial and temporal resolution in spatially explicit risk assessments.
