Professional Background
Josh is an Assistant Research Ecologist in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy. His studies focus mostly on elements of watershed science and ecosystems processes to define a framework for riverscape scale ecology; he is currently directing research in several of California's watersheds (Cosumnes, Napa, Scott, and Shasta Rivers). His research skill set centers on the use of spatial technologies, geographical information systems and remote sensing, and informatics to promote better decision making as it relates to human-environment relations and identifying opportunities for resource sustainability. He also seeks novel ways of communicating watershed-based geographic science, including the development of digital media and videography.
