Hi – my name is Erich Seamon. I’m quantitative climatologist and data scientist – and currently a postdoctoral fellow @ the University of Idaho’s Institute for Modeling, Collaboration, and Innovation (http://imci.uidaho.edu). My research focus is on the use of machine learning and spatiotemporal methods to explore associations of climate with differing facets of society – including agriculture and health.

I have a background in geographic information systems (GIS), using ArcGIS desktop, ArcGIS server, python, R, as well as managing spatial data within several flavors of databases (SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MongoDB). I regularly deploy GIS-based web services, manage geodatabases, and use modeling efforts to understand spatial patterns and relationships.
