Sue has 15 years’ experience performing wetland delineations and functional assessments in Alaska. Her current work focuses on developing wetland maps and assessments to support 404 permitting applications, and on developing broad-scale wetland maps to support NEPA processes. Sue’s master’s degree is on the interactions between wetlands and climate (see Ives et al. 2013, below).
