Erin King has been providing GIS services in cultural, environmental, and energy industries for private and government sectors for over 15 years.

Erin’s career started with providing GIS support for cultural resources management in both Canada and the United States. Erin produced field and report maps, researched historic maps and imagery, and generated predictive archaeological site models to assist in developing field survey strategies. Erin is also a Registered Professional Archaeologist (RPA) and has assisted in LiDAR and magnetometry surveys of cultural sites.

Erin joined Resource Data in 2014 and provides a variety of GIS services to clients. She has continued to excel in predictive modeling. More recently, Erin developed a custom toolset to model areas most favorable to mosquito species aedes aegypti, a carrier of Zika virus. She has also developed tools to assist in selecting favorable site locations for development based on customized criteria. Erin has also developed tools to automate a LiDAR enhancement process to assist in identifying cultural features. In 2020, Erin’s analysis skills were featured on three episodes of History Channel’s “The Curse of Oak Island” where she used historic maps, enhanced LiDAR data, and triangulation techniques to determine the original positions of lost features.

In addition to providing GIS analysis support in the geosciences, Erin can also offer solutions and services in the following categories:

• Data management, conversions, and migrations
• ArcGIS Enterprise/Server/Online installation and support
• Web map application development for internal or public use
