Lindsey graduated with a Masters in Environmental Management from Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment in 2009. There she focused on the application of remote sensing techniques (Light Detection and Ranging) to evaluate wildlife habitat in the coastal plain of North Carolina. Upon graduation, she began work as a vegetation ecologist/spatial analyst at NatureServe, a non-profit conservation organization, where she performed field vegetation assessments and geospatial analyses for federal, state, and other non-profit organizations. After NatureServe, she began work as a project manager for the Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary Partnership and collaborated with organizations around the region to protect and restore the natural resources of the Albemarle-Pamlico watershed. She began her studies as a PhD student in the Center for Geospatial Analytics and the Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources at North Carolina State University in 2014.

Research |
Lindsey employs geospatial modeling and spatial statistics to better understand the complex dynamics of human-environment interactions and their consequences on ecosystem health, social vulnerability, and the provision of ecosystem services. Her work on this project involves integrating human-decision making into land-use and land cover change modeling to explore potential adaptation strategies to saltwater intrusion and the impacts on ecosystem services and biodiversity.
