As a Spatial Data Analyst, Charlotte performs spatial and data analysis for TNC California’s land, oceans, waters, and cities programs. In her first two years with TNC, Charlotte has analyzed the connection between groundwater and surface water in the Central Valley, mapped the suitability of nature-based climate solutions statewide, and developed a web tool that explores how variation in urban tree canopy relates to income inequality in major U.S. cities. Charlotte also leads GIS for the Disaster Resilience program, developing maps and analysis to guide the coastal and wildfire resilience strategies.
Prior to the Conservancy, Charlotte worked for Urban Green Council and the New York City Department of Sanitation’s Bureau of Recycling & Sustainability. Charlotte holds a Masters in Environmental Management from the Yale School of the Environment, where she focused on spatial analysis and land conservation, and a B.S. in Environmental Science from UCLA.
What Charlotte is working on now:
I am currently developing a greenprint for Southern California, an online mapping tool that will allow planners and agencies to integrate conservation and natural resources into their decision-making.
