Patricia K Haggerty
I am an Ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center. I provide spatial analysis and remote sensing support to Research Scientists and their staff across our Science Center as the GIS Coordinator.
As GIS Coordinator, I support a variety of research programs involving a diverse array of aquatic and terrestrial environments using software tools, data acquisition and development and documentation efforts, and presentation/outreach to the scientific community and the general public. I act as an interface between the Bureau's Enterprise Geospatial program, our local IT program and GIS field/office practitioners. My work has supported research efforts on a variety of at risk species such as the Marbled Murrelet, Condor, Golden Eagle, and Spotted Frog. I have worked across agency boundaries on numerous projects supporting wildlife research in the Pacific Northwest.
