About Tim
Tim implements a GIS database and custom toolset to support visualization and analysis for the Gulf of Mexico Basin Depositional Synthesis project with Bill Galloway. He's interested in finding ways to make use of the project team's interpolations to derive new knowledge about Gulf depositional patterns and their consequences.

Tim also works with David Maidment in Civil Engineering on a variety of projects, including the Hydrologic Information Systems component of the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, which seeks to improve hydrologic science in the US by improving cyberinfrastructure and methods for working with scientific data.
