   abstract: "William Matthew Cushing (Matt) began his career at EROS as a contractor\
     \ in 2002 and joined USGS in 2010.  His work has been primarily to support international\
     \ work, assisting developing countries in building their spatial data infrastructures.\
     \ Matt's focus is on geographic information systems (GIS) and the integration\
     \ of this technology with the science of remote sensing.  Much of this international\
     \ work focused on activities in West Africa, Latin America, and Afghanistan.\
     \  In West Africa, he supports the development of land cover trends, analyzing\
     \ data from 1975 to the present.  In Latin America, Matt collaborated with the\
     \ Pan-American Institute of Geography and History (PAIGH), CAF \u2013 Development\
     \ Bank of Latin America, and Latin American countries to support their efforts\
     \ in spatial data infrastructure (SDI) development. Under this collaboration,\
     \ he created and designed several online tools to enhance their data distribution\
     \ and data discovery methods. In Afghanistan, he supports the Afghanistan Geological\
     \ Survey in a similar capacity, providing training and technical support to\
     \ advance their SDI to improve the commercial viability of the minerals extractive\
     \ industry. In 2019 Matt joined the Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED)\
     \ Program. Under CoNED, Matt splits his time assisting the team in processing\
     \ and validating high resolution topographic and bathymetric datasets and managing\
     \ CoNED's online data distribution strategy."
