<p class="MsoNormal">Bio / Current Work<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dylan Beaudette was born and raised in Fresno California, spending winters chasing his friends in the fog and summers hiking in the Sierra National Forest and Kaiser Wilderness. After a year abroad in Japan (Rotary Youth Exchange program,
Hiroshima), he returned to Fresno City College for a year and then on to UC Davis. Without a clear idea of what to study, he found himself in Mike Singer's SSC 100 class. His initial plan was to finish school with a degree in Environmental Resource science
(soils, hydrology, GIS, remote sensing). All of that changed after taking pedology, soil genesis / morphology, and the summer field class in soil science. Roughly 7 years later Dylan left Davis with an M.S. and Ph.D. in "Soils and Biogeochemistry". During
those years Dylan contributed to the soil survey in Pinnacles National Monument, tested theories of soil genesis and geography in the Sierra Nevada Foothills, created SoilWeb with Dr. O'Geen, and developed the foundation of what would later become the suite
of R packages implementing "Algorithms for Quantitative Pedology" or AQP.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since moving to Sonora, CA in 2011, Dylan has been employed by the USDA-NRCS. Initially tasked with initial soil survey in Calaveras and Tuolumne counties, Dylan later moved on to work with the Regional staff on quality control and digital
soil mapping (DSM). Since 2018, Dylan has been working for the National Soil Survey Center on national-scale problems related to development of standards, applied DSM, and continued refinement of SoilWeb and AQP. Oddly enough, he finds that he is just as happy
writing R code to wrangle our nations largest spatial databases as he is describing an ultic haploxeralf under the shade of an oak tree.<o:p></o:p></p>
