Dear colleagues,

I have a remote sensing/GIS and geography (MSc and BSc) background. I
wanted to offer my GIS and map making skills in a volunteer capacity to the
coral community. Feel free to contact me for more information or just to
connect :) I have mapped subsurface coral diseases in Panama once before
and learned how to use hyperspectral data in uni.

Cheers,
Sarah E. Pearce, BSc, MSc, MSc candidate
