New Position at Industrial Economics Incorporated
Published:
I am excited to announce that I started a new position as Associate at the environmental consulting company Industrial Economics, Inc, where I will be assisting on Natural Resource Damagement Assessments of sites that have been contaminated by hazardous waste. I look forward to using what I learned in academia to have meaningful, applied impact and to gain more skills.
New Paper on Spring Phenology Forecast Challenge
Published:
Our paper from the Ecological Forecasting Initiative spring phenology forecast challenge was recently published in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology. It is available open access at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168192323005002. Paper highlights include: (1) We held a community forecast challenge to predict daily plant greenness through which we submitted forecasts from 18 models. (2) Forecast skill was highest when forecasting earlier in the greenup period compared to the end. (3) Forecasts were worst when submitted right before budburst. (4) Historical means of greenness on each day of year were difficult to outperform.
New Preprint for phenology forecast challenge
Published:
A new preprint is available for a spring phenology forecast challenge I lead as part of the Ecological Forecasting Initiative. You can access it at: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4357147.
New Paper in Ecosphere
Published:
A paper that I am a co-author on just came out in Ecosphere (https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ecs2.4342). This work came from a workshop through the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS).
