Christopher Forsgren

Renewable Energy Data Analyst

Research Areas:
Information Systems and Process Analytics

Biography:

As a Geospatial Science team member, I look to employ my skills in the fast and ever changing Geospatial Science and Technology environment by applying scientific, computational, and engineering principles, theories, and concepts to Geospatial Sciences. With a Master’s Degree in Environmental Science and Management from Idaho State University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Geography from Utah State University, I have employed the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) for analysis of systems to provide decision support as well as visualization and environmental analysis.  I use many complimentary GIS  tools such as web mapping applications, GPS, LiDAR, UAV, 3D modeling, and facilities asset management to develop simulations and models that provide these critical decision making capabilities. Whether the task is for renewable energy analysis or for decision support of critical infrastructure, geospatial solutions provide perspective and data that cannot be ascertained in any other way.
