Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmily Baker is a geoscientist and field-focused glaciologist with nearly a decade of experience leading multi-day expeditions across Alaska and producing publication-ready geospatial analyses. She has driven end-to-end data workflows at the USGS—including automated Python pipelines, versioned data releases, and metadata curation—for the Benchmark Glacier Project and is lead author on multiple dataset releases. Equally comfortable in the field and behind a screen, she combines expertise in GNSS surveying, hyperspectral and remote-sensing processing, and mass-balance methods with hands-on instrumentation and sensor deployment. Her work spans peer-reviewed publications, public science communication, and practical monitoring protocol development for national parks, showing an uncommon aptitude for translating complex geophysical data into usable products. Now based in Anchorage and working in environmental consulting, she brings rigorous scientific rigor, operational safety training, and a talent for building reproducible data systems to applied environmental projects.
