This
multi-year inventory incorporated remote-sensing, GIS, and field sampling
to assess and monitor the long-term health of the marine and estuarine
environment in Puget Sound, Washington. Allison
was responsible for field sampling design and field data collection for
physical and biological intertidal habitat mapping using aircraft remote-sensing,
GPS, and GIS technologies. She also developed a GIS-compatible database
to store and analyze field data for the inventory. In addition to
the full-scale, synoptic inventory, she also performed a rapid, probability-based
survey of Puget Sound nearshore habitats and presented results of this
survey at the 1998 Puget Sound Research Conference.
