Senior🎓
Top SchoolNico Tripcevich is an archaeologist and geospatial specialist based in Berkeley, serving as Associate Director of UC Berkeley’s Archaeological Research Facility and managing its labs, instruments, and digital research resources. He has conducted field research across the US West and the central Andes since 1999, with deep expertise in obsidian geochemistry, Andean caravanning, and remote sensing. His work blends mobile, low-impact field methods with advanced photogrammetry, geophysics, and GIS-based cartography to make field data more reproducible and accessible. As a longtime lab manager and instructor he trains students and scholars in instrumentation, spatial analysis, and geochemical processing. He bridges academic research and practical lab stewardship, maintaining both cutting-edge workflows and the institutional infrastructure that supports them. An often-overlooked strength is his sustained focus on portable, field-ready methodologies that enable rigorous research in remote Andean and Californian landscapes.
