Miller Creek
Aquatic ecotoxicology + watershed researchOpen ↗02Urban runoff reaches salmon-bearing streams as changing mixtures whose effects cannot be read from a single sample. Miller Creek connects storm events, water conditions, exposure systems, fish care, imaging, and watershed context so the biological evidence stays tied to the event that produced it.
Whitebark Pine
Species distribution + climate + spatial ecologyOpen ↗03Whitebark pine occupies a narrow and changing climatic space. This model asks where occurrence, elevation, temperature, and precipitation align—and keeps model performance, future projections, and extrapolation risk together so suitability is not presented as certainty.
Bryophyte Diversity
Field taxonomy + GIS + repeatable monitoringOpen ↗04Bryophytes make scale visible: minute diagnostic traits determine identity, while substrate, moisture, habitat, and repeated occurrence determine what a site record can mean. This project carries that reasoning from notebook and microscope into mobile GIS.
Field Taxonomy
Identification + morphology + natural historyOpen ↗05Identification is an argument built from observable traits. Key paths, measured morphology, habitat, ecological association, and diagnostic drawing preserve how a name was reached—not only the name itself.
Sun Lakes–Dry Falls
Vegetation + climate + geology + visual ecologyOpen ↗06At Sun Lakes–Dry Falls, vegetation records the combined effects of flood geology, aridity, moisture, substrate, exposure, and disturbance. The project follows those relationships across the landscape rather than treating the species list as the conclusion.
FieldMark
Field interface design + developmentOpen ↗Field data is shaped by the interface available at the moment of encounter. FieldMark tests how weather, pressure, movement, position, and observation context can be captured quickly without pretending that automation replaces review.
Field records
Taxa, encounters, notebooks, and images.

About
Ryan Ivy / FLDSCI
Ecology carried from field conditions into records, maps, images, and decisions.
I work where field science, spatial systems, and visual evidence meet. The CV shows the professional record; the archive shows the work itself.
