SOFTWARE
evolution technology grid
Software aiming to create a simulation, the "EvoGrid", utilizing a large interconnected grid of computers which could plausibly model the pre-biotic chemical environment which was the precursor stage to evolution and life arising on Earth.
watershed-to-ocean visualization
Software developed for use by zoos and aquariums for community-based collective action focused on ocean conservation.
rimsim: response
Software developed for use by emergency first responders to gain a broader situation awareness through visualization skills .
cyberarts mixed media plants
Software to demonstrate plant mating and development through 3-D models as shown at the Boston Cyberarts festival in 2001 - based on the ARToolkit, X3D, and an L-System engine.
virtual scalable basin
Software to model a watershed basin for 26 key basin attributes (soil moisture, river channel flow per second, water table, etc.) using the OpenMI platform to virtualize the process based on the DHSVM and VIC hydrology models.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
05.05.2010
To finish presenting a trilogy of dissertation thesis papers, I will attend the 7th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management in Seattle, WA to present a paper related to our emergency response crisis visualization tool.
01.13.2010
As my one break from dissertation work this winter, I pitched our Watershed-to-Ocean Initiative to the Listen to Your Lakes coordinators at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, IL. Based on their valuable feedback, we will be releasing an on-line demonstration of our tool focused on conservation in the greater Lake Michigan watersheds area.
11.18.2009
I provided a GIS Day workshop at Nathan Bishop Middle School in Providence, RI. GIS Day activities ran all around the world.
10.15.2009
I attended the Vis, InfoVis, and VAST conferences in Atlantic City, NJ, to catch up on all the lastest research while reconnecting with my colleagues after missing last year's festivities. Great to see so many alumni from Brown, but no one from the University of Washington.
