Sam Hiatt graduated from Utah State University in 2007 with a BS in Geography and minors in Geographical Information Science, Computer Science, and Mathematics. While at USU he worked with Dr. Michael White to develop a new method for monitoring plant phenology using MODIS Direct Broadcast satellite imagery. He currently works with Dr. Rama Nemani at NASA Ames Research Center’s Ecological Forecasting Lab leveraging open source software to enhance data access and usability.

Sam is very interested in open source and collaborative geospatial technology as well as a variety of topics related to satellite remote-sensing and ecology. He participated in the Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference in Victoria, Canada in 2007, and as a member of the American Geophysical Union he participates annually in the AGU Fall Meetings in San Fancisco, CA.
