USGS Intern Spotlight — Meet Jeff Peters!
"I use Geographic Information Systems/Science (GIS) to estimate community exposure to tsunamis, as well as model evacuation for tsunamis. Community emergency managers use these analyses to plan for future events. Understanding community exposure and evacuation for tsunamis before an event happens helps minimize costs for post disaster relief and loss of life.
Working at USGS has taught me more about GIS and natural hazards sciences than I could have imagined. The willingness of my coworkers to teach and mentor me is invaluable. Also the satisfaction of working on science that is directly used within community planning and could help save lives is immeasurable."
