The UW Sea Grant Institute views Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a powerful tool in the management of Great Lakes coastal areas. Wisconsin Sea Grant uses the technology to better understand coastal processes and to share that information with coastal resource managers and planners.
David joined the Wisconsin Sea Grant Advisory Services team in 2002, after working with Sea Grant on coastal GIS applications through the UW-Madison Land Information and Graphics Facility. As one of the few full-time Sea Grant GIS specialists in the country, David provides assistance to local governments and other coastal constituents in the areas of coastal hazards, land use, floodplain management and water quality. He also makes these tools available for other Sea Grant Advisory staff. David holds an M.S. in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of New Orleans and a Ph.D. in Land Resources from the UW-Madison.
