Researcher & Scientist
A researcher, data-wrangler, and digital-media creator at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, Emma enjoys tinkering with ways to derive and convey information using image-analysis, sound recordings, hydrologic monitoring, and data visualization. She obtained a bachelor’s degree at Green Mountain College in Vermont and a master’s degree in Natural Resource Sciences at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln, where her collaboration with the PBT started.
