-
Alison Gregory, UFS Weather Project, Developing a clean, reproducible workflow using the UFS Short-Range Weather App tutorial to simulate the August 10, 2020 derecho and visualize model outputs.
-
Livian Von Dran, PLANT-B: Stoichiometric Nutrient Cycle Simulation, Supporting nutrient cycle simulations for the PLANT-B CubeSat Terrarium Mission by mapping areas of species overlap to investigate nutrient dynamics in natural ecosystems.
-
Charlie Caravati, Automated Reflectance Processing for Interior LiDAR Point Clouds: Developing an open-source, lightweight Python workflow for testing and tuning automated clipping of bad data generated by mirror reflections in .e57 LiDAR point clouds. Utilizes Random Sample Consensus, Primary Component Analysis, and Ray-Tracing Occlusion to identify and filter potential ‘ghost’ points
-
Kayleigh Ward, Nate Hofford, and Max Warnock, Pawnee National Grassland Land Swap Optimization: Developing a geospatial framework to identify land swap opportunities that reduce landscape fragmentation and improve ecological function by integrating parcel ownership, ecological datasets, and spatial optimization techniques.
-
Nym Veach, Mapping Surface Runoff Susceptibility in the Nisqually River Watershed: Building a fuzzy logic geospatial model to evaluate surface runoff susceptibility under both current and future climate scenarios in Washington's Nisqually River watershed.
-
Raini Helmstadter Snow Drought Modeling Modeling snowpack, snow water equivalent (SWE), and snow drought conditions across the Northern Rocky Mountains to better understand changing winter hydrology.
-
Markus Jessewin, eqlat_HPC: Equivalent Latitude Computation for NOAA HPC Orion: Developing a Python package that computes equivalent latitude from potential vorticity fields on isentropic surfaces using ERA5 and MERRA-2 reanalysis datasets for atmospheric research.
