"abstract": "Current RolesProject Manager: Predictive Understanding of Multiscale Processes (PUMP)Task Lead: Advancing Machine Learning and Data Assimilation, within the PUMP ProjectAlison studies the movement of energy, carbon, and nutrients through rivers, lakes, and floodplains to better predict and understand variations in water quality over space and time.As a machine learning modeler and biogeochemist, she seeks modeling advances that bring together scientific knowledge and data-driven models. \u201cProcess-guided deep learning\u201d and \u201cdifferentiable hydrology\u201d are two approaches on which she collaborates.As a data scientist, she conducts analyses in ways that are reproducible, efficient, and transparent, and she has developed tools and workflows to support others in these goals.In her leadership roles, she facilitates fluid skill sharing within teams and communities of practice, challenges individuals to excel in their projects and careers, and coordinates across projects to realize the Water Mission Area\u2019s vision of broadly reusable, integrated tools for predicting water quantity and quality across the nation.Alison is based in State College, PA, and is a member of the Analysis and Prediction Branch in the Integrated Modeling and Prediction Division in the Water Mission Area. She is on the USGS career track called Equipment Development Grade Evaluation (EDGE).", | |||
