Biographical Sketch:

Terry Arundel is a geographer with the USGS-Colorado Plateau Research Station's Geospatial Technologies Laboratory. Terry received his Masters in Geography from Northern Arizona University and has 20 years of professional experience in surveying, cartography and geographic information systems (GIS). He began his career as a land surveyor in Phoenix, Arizona. During his final year of undergraduate education at Northern Arizona University, Terry was awarded a working internship as a cartographer at the National Geographic Society from a national competition. Later he was employed as a cartographer for the Smithsonian Institution, Museum of Natural History. For the past 15 years he has worked exclusively with GIS to analyze complex geographic problems or model spatial relationships. Terry's research interests include geography of the Colorado Plateau, ecological principles that influence the temporal and spatial distribution of vegetation, applied spatial statistics and modeling in GIS, and cartography as an art form.
