Thomas
M. Rice |
Tom's primary role as work unit geographer is exploring the consequences of place on microbial processes.
Education:
4 years undergraduate study, Math & Physics, 1963-67, Central Washington University
B.S. Cartography, 1987, University of Idaho
M.S. Geography/Geographic Information Systems, 1992, University of Idaho
Research involvement to date:
Integration of GIS and ecosystem process models for site-specific ecological simulation
Other scientific programming/modeling in support of RWU research activities
Development of interactive online (intranet) system for soil quality information transfer (http://forest.moscowfsl.wsu.edu/smp/solo)
Development of interactive web-based tool for estimation of fire effects on Armillaria populations (http://forest.moscowfsl.wsu.edu/fuels/art)
Responsible for RWU database development, tech transfer to stakeholders, GPS and field-related mapping (see "Information Management & Technology Transfer.pps")
