What organization do you work with?

I work with GIS and remote sensing at the Amazon Conservation Team, primarily for the country of Suriname. Much of my work deals with mapping forest change remotely with satellite data, working on participatory and ethnographic mapping projects with local communities, and coordinating between our offices in Washington and Suriname.
