Ryan Green
I’m an environmental data scientist based in Santa Barbara, California, with a background in geography and anthropology. I use Python, R, and geospatial data to study natural hazards and the human past, from machine learning on remotely sensed imagery to spatial models of landslide susceptibility and archaeological site location.
