Schematic illustration of upwelling mechanisms that take place off the California coast, included in the "Upwelling and Offshore Wind: What We Know" fact sheet associated with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's California Offshore Wind Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. Full fact sheet here. Created in Adobe Illustrator.

Reference map of Los Angeles County. Layers include hillshade, major roads, major cities (with populations greater than 125,000 people), lakes, and national forests. Created in ArcGIS Pro.

Graduated symbol map of Toxics Release Inventory in Los Angeles County. Total air emissions consist of the sum of fugitive and stack air emissions; data from 2020. Created in ArcGIS Pro.

Choropleth map of percent Asian population by census tract. Data from 2019. Created in ArcGIS Pro.

Bivariate choropleth map of % Asian population by census tract and total air pollution. Population data (2019); air pollution data (2020). Created in ArcGIS Pro.

Los Angeles County Bivariate Map of Asian Population and Air Pollution

Interactive visualization of Los Angeles County Asian population % per census tract and total air pollution. Created in Tableau Public.

A Mechanistic Investigation of the Coral Mn/Ca-based Trade-wind Proxy at Kiritimati: Scroll through Chapter 1 of my PhD dissertation to learn about how the geochemistry of coral skeletons in the equatorial Pacific tracks local trade-wind patterns.

The Colorado River Basin Overflight Project: Planet Women coordinated flights over the Colorado River Basin with female pilots, tribal leaders, and youth tribal members to capture their stories of humanity and nature from pre-history to modern times.

Lessons from the Elwha: a 10-year retrospective. Learn more about the recovery and restoration effort after the removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon Dams. Created in collaboration with the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center.
