Teague is a Computer Scientist working on the North American Bat Monitoring Program. (NABat) is a continental scale bat population monitoring program. A multi-disciplinary team comprised of biologists, quantitative ecologists, statisticians, data scientists, outreach and user support staff, and software engineers work collaboratively to provide the services, resources, digital infrastructure, and science that support the success of the broader NABat collective. This USGS team works closely alongside federal partners and external end users to develop technical solutions for complex applied problems relevant to decision workflows that cover or consider bats. With a small, dedicated team, NABat software systems have accrued over 100 million measurement observations from 500 organizations including over 80 terabytes of acoustic data. We strive to reduce the burden of data collection by offering innovative, user focused, technical solutions for priority science programs and initiatives that include custom cloud-based applications.
