Episode 47: Bridging the data divide between ecology and infrastructure
In this episode, Dr. Michael Young talks about his approach to bringing all the elements of energy transition together into collaborative systems that serve all stakeholders.
Episode 48: Conducting cutting-edge methods in turfgrass research
Sometimes, getting the data you need means combining novel methods, learning new analytical techniques, and strapping a sensor to a broom handle. Katie Anselmi learned this first-hand analyzing athletic turf health and water use at Brigham Young University. Using drone imagery, AI-assisted data analysis, cutting-edge water content sensor technology, and more, she helped field managers minimize water use, reduce wasted additives, and keep the grass healthy year-round.
Notes
Katie completed her bachelor’s degree in environmental science and technology at Colorado Mesa University, where she focused her studies on water quality and conservation. She just recently completed her master’s degree in environmental science at Brigham Young University, specializing in soil physics and soil chemistry.
And before she steps back into academia to pursue a PhD, she is currently working as a project surveyor and drone specialist for a civil engineering firm based out of Utah. She is also a member of the first cohort of recipients of the Galen Campbell Fellowship awarded by METER Group for innovation in environmental measurement.
