Philip Tarrant
I am a post-graduate researcher in the Neuer lab. My main field of work is the acquisition, processing and analysis of remotely sensed data, focusing on both ocean and freshwater primary production. In particular, we are currently exploring the potential of ocean sensing satellites as tools to monitor community structure and water quality in the Salt River reservoir system.
I am originally from England, where I had a successful career in information technology, before moving to Arizona with my wife in 2001. In 2002 I returned to full-time education at Arizona State University. I have a B.S. in Conservation Biology and a Master of Natural Sciences in Biology and Geographical Information Science. I am particularly interested in studying human impact on the environment and the ecological effects of human induced change.
