Biography
Dr. Janet Marsden’s research specializations include computational methods, geospatial modeling, risk assessment and management, urbanization effects on ecosystem resilience and sustainability, and data and information visualization for scientific and technical communication. She has 20+ years of experience in data collection and validation, descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, and database design and development.
Janet has designed and developed information systems for the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Naval Underwater Systems Center, the US Coast Guard, and several Fortune 500 companies. Her current interests include enhancing traditional data collection and sampling methods with advanced remote sensing and surveillance technologies, including drones, and the use of citizen science, crowdsourcing and social media for environmental monitoring. She is the UREx SRN Data Manager and acting lead for the Computing and Visualization Working Group. Janet’s dissertation research examined the phenomenon of self-organizing ad hoc emergency response based on advanced information and communications technology during Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy.
