I am a UW Derecho Assistant Professor in the School of Computing and Department of Anthropology at the University of Wyoming. I use computer applications to study how people cope(d) with climate stress in the deep past and present. Although I spend a lot of time in front of a computer dealing with large geo-spatial datasets, writing code, and analyzing remotely sensed data I have also had the opportunity to do fieldwork across the U.S. Southwest and Western Europe. For the last five years, most of my field work has taken place in Mesa Verde National Park.
