Jake Longenecker
Jake Longenecker received his BA from Franklin and Marshall College where he concentrated on Theoretical & Applied Earth Science systems research with a focus on fractured rock and karst systems; development of data processing algorithms and 2D/3D/4D/VR mapping techniques to aid in the discovery and monitoring of water resources for water resource protection, contaminant mitigation, and supply sustainability. Working as an Environmental Scientist, Geophysicist, and Lead Developer, Jake continued to refine his field work and data interpretation skills. In 2017, Jake was installed on the Karst Commission and was awarded the Young Karst Researcher Award for his work on ECHO-GPM. In 2018 Jake began development of THOR and continues to develop the software. Jake is currently teaching while completing his M.S. in Geology, studying climate and remote sensing at the City College of New York, under a fellowship from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
