Liz Hansen is a GIS Technician with a background in mapping systems, natural resource research and management, and small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) operations. Her combination of field experience and technical proficiency enables her to integrate practical environmental knowledge with advanced geospatial analysis to contribute valuable insights for river system analysis and restoration projects. Specifically, Liz’s field work experience involves plant identification, habitat analysis, and data collection using methods such as electrofishing, GPS, and drone surveying. She has contributed to studies on the Utah fish population densities, trout otolith and carp spine aging surveys, and the management of the threatened June sucker (Chasmistes liorus). Liz has used both ArcGIS and QGIS to analyze habitat suitability, track aquatic invasive species, delineate watersheds, and to support habitat monitoring surveys. She is also a licensed sUAS pilot and has experience conducting drone surveys over varied terrain to monitor rare plants and vegetation conditions. Liz draws from her experiences working in natural resources to assist in the analysis and restoration of river systems.
