Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeffrey Keck is a forest hydrologist and geomorphologist with a PhD in computational hydrology and eight years of applied experience assessing landslide hazard and channel stability in forested, mountainous terrain. A licensed civil engineer and engineering geologist, he manages the Olympic Experimental State Forest hydrology monitoring program and advises state timber and forest resources teams on landslide and stream stability risks. His work blends field monitoring, dendrochronology-informed landslide assessments, and distributed hydrology modeling (DHSVM), plus bespoke MATLAB tools and bias-corrected gridded hydrometeorology processing. Comfortable moving between policy-facing consultation and hands-on modeling, he brings both practical engineering design experience (roads, stream crossings) and research rigor to landscape-scale hazard mitigation. Based in Olympia, WA, he pairs deep regional knowledge of Pacific Northwest forests with computational methods that translate complex data into actionable resource-management decisions.
