Tideline Geospatial

Geospatial data and machine learning for mission-driven organizations working to protect land, strengthen regional food systems, and monitor the impacts of climate change.

Nearly a decade at the intersection of earth observation, machine learning, and climate strategy, working with conservation organizations, public agencies, and enterprise clients.

Food systems & working lands

Applying modern geospatial technology to solve urgent problems in our food systems: building a greater capacity for bioregional food systems and helping get local food efficiently to communities with the greatest needs.

Remote sensing & landscape monitoring

Satellite-based analysis of land and vegetation change: feasibility assessments, burn severity mapping, and risk analysis for land managers, utilities, and agencies.

Park access & equity analysis

Auditing how well park and amenity data reflects what’s actually on the ground, and advising on data modernization for access and equity analysis.

Also: ecosystem services modeling (flood attenuation, carbon storage, urban cooling, habitat quality) and geospatial strategy and architecture for organizations building or scaling geospatial programs.

Midcourse food system site-suitability model

Software architecture and development of the analytical model behind Midcourse’s Northeast food infrastructure mapping tool. The model scores locations across nine states for aggregation, processing, and distribution facilities. The region is divided into an H3 grid and scored on measures of supply, demand, community need, and existing infrastructure.

Trust for Public Land data advisory

Advisory work on modernizing ParkServe’s data: a crosswalk of 11 decision-support tools and a three-city audit of how well open, commercial, and federal sources capture parks and their amenities.

Tropical reforestation concession mapping and analysis platform

A web app mapping a reforestation project’s concessions in the Peruvian Amazon against Peru’s national forestry concession dataset: more than 2,500 concessions by type and region. The work also included a satellite remote sensing feasibility assessment for monitoring liana removal.

Background

Previously ran the Americas professional services organization at Planet, supporting 100+ accounts including state and federal agencies, electric utilities, and Fortune 500 companies. Earlier at Orbital Insight. Ongoing geospatial and ML advisory for mission-driven clients.
