Background

About Albert Beck

I am an experienced GIS Analyst and Data Archivist working for the University of Wisconsin and US Forest Service Research Data Archive. Much of my skillset is dedicated to the use my GIS background though the editing and manipulation of spatial data then presenting them via data publications and through geoapps such as ArcGIS Story Maps. But I also create, edit, and publish metadata for the US Forest Service that includes both spatial and non-spatial data, which is published to the US Forest Service Research Data Archive In addition to having a hand in reviewing many of the published datasets the past couple years, I also have published historical datasets and contributed significantly to some data publications. All the data publications listed on my LinkedIn profile below are datasets that include significant contributions from myself through spatial data creation/manipulation or via metadata creation and sometimes both. Some data are new and some are historical, but all of it requires detective work to figure out the what, where, when, who, and how so that others may use these data.
