Meg E. Stewart

Geographic Information System Laboratory Computing Consultant

B.S., Geology, California State University, Hayward, 1992
M.S., Geology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, 1994

Meg Stewart is an Academic Computing Specialist in support of GIS and works closely with the department on geospatial projects and in support of the GIS lab. Her interest and experience in GIS came while on the job in consulting. She worked on a broad-based project using GIS to site landfill disposal locations for dredged sediments from the New York-New Jersey Harbor. The database included land use and land cover data (such as soils, Geology, wetlands, buildings, etc.) and digital elevation models (DEMs) for parts of New York and New Jersey. She also has a strong background in computer graphics, slide presentation production and spreadsheet usage.
