ACEP Welcomes Erin Trochim to the Team!
Erin Trochim is joining ACEP as a research assistant professor in ACEP's Data Collection
and Analysis Program.
Trochim's research interests include remote sensing, hydrology and permafrost, and
their integration in solving real-world problems. In this, she focuses on translating
information and results into effective visualizations to aid in decision-making.
After completing a bachelor’s of science degree in geography from the University
of Calgary, she received master’s and doctoral degrees from the Â鶹¹ÙÍø
Fairbanks. She focused on hydrology, permafrost and remote sensing. She recently completed
a postdoctoral fellowship at the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center. Her work
included creating policy briefs on permafrost, applying machine learning techniques
on big data to analyze surface water and permafrost interactions, and assessing permafrost
risk for communities in Alaska.
Trochim is excited to be working with ACEP and the many exciting projects they have
going on, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Â鶹¹ÙÍø and Development
Center project analyzing geospatial imagery.
Having grown up in Whitehorse, Yukon, Trochim has a passion for life in the North.
This is best shown when she is out on the trails around Fairbanks with eight of her
best friends — her Alaska huskies. She enjoys cross-country skiing, skijoring, paddleboarding,
gardening and anything else that gets her outside.
