We offer expert consulting on how your organization affects and is affected by the climate.
Hi! I'm your proprietor Chris Black. I bring deep experience in modeling and measurements of biogeochemical cycles, validation and deployment of models for carbon quantification in settings that require reliability and transparency, and developing and maintaining software for the unique needs of scientific computing. My research experience spans from plant biology through soil biogeochemistry into ecosystem-scale modeling. I have built multi-model pipelines for ecological data, developed statistical approaches for handling noisy field measurements, programmed simulations of interactions between root architecture and soil physics, and lead the first successful national-scale validation of an ecosystem model for commercial carbon crediting. If your project involves confronting a model with data or turning a guess into a modeled estimate, I can help.
