Erik Martin is a Spatial Analyst Developer with 10 years of experience applying GIS, web mapping, and spatial analysis to conservation and environmental projects from Maine to Gabon. At The Nature Conservancy he builds production web tools (Vue.js, Mapbox GL, Node.js, ArcGIS Server) that translate complex ecological models—resilience, aquatic connectivity, fish passage prioritization—into actionable maps and decision-support services. His background combines rigorous GIS methods (least-cost surfaces, barrier prioritization, hydropower scenario analysis) with strong cartographic communication and project leadership across multi-stakeholder initiatives. Erik’s work uniquely bridges field-scale problem solving (culvert and dam assessments) with scalable web deployment of geoprocessing services. Trained with an MS in GIS and a BA in Human Ecology, he pairs technical depth with ecological context to deliver tools that guide conservation planning.
