Biography:

Glenn is a geospatial technical lead for the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) with over 2 decades of experience in the field of GIS.  At INL, his focus includes expertise and development in web map development and deployment, creative data driven mapping solutions, enterprise and database administration, seismic and volcanic hazard assessment, and geological subsurface modeling needs at the INL. Glenn's previous experience includes Sr. GIS Analyst in environmental consulting and Sr. Policy Analyst (GIS) for the New Zealand national government.
Glenn is currently acting as the Geological Disposition Safety Assessment (GDSA) work package manager for the Spent Fuel Waste Disposition (SFWD) DOE-NE program and as the database manager and GIS analyst for INL’s Probabilistic Seismic Hazard (PSHA) and Probabilistic Volcanic Hazard (PVHA) assessments.  He has a vast geospatial mapping interest in applying his knowledge, skills, and abilities to geodynamics, geology, ecology, hydrology, natural phenomenon, and integrated energy-industry systems.
