Hi – my name is Erich Seamon.   I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Idaho, working on machine learning techniques and their applications to agriculture and climate, under Dr. Paul Gessler.  I have extensive experience in data science, GIS, and climate science impacts, and am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP)  as well as a Geographic Information Systems Professional (GISP).

Below is a synopsis of several different climate science projects I have worked on over the past 10 years @ the University of Idaho.  I have particular experience…

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.

The following are research teams that I have previously or am actively engaged in as a climate scientist and PhD student.

My research interests are described, including work with GIS, agricultural insurance crop loss, as well as a line of work in GIS and child psychology.
