I am a professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, primarily studying the impacts of climate change in arctic Alaska.  My main focus is glaciers, but also the influence that changing glaciers have on downstream ecosystems.  My panoramic photography is largely in support of these efforts.  I am trying to capture the current state of various landscape features in the arctic through spherical and gigapixels panoramas, so that we can assess how these features are changing in time.  These images are also a nice way to share the beauty of these remote places with those who may never have the opportunity to visit them in person. 

Dome3D founder Matthew Mascheri shoots spherical panoramas for virtual tours as well, as immersive theaters, and has created a product called FullSphere™ which allows spherical panoramas to be viewed, in real-time, in immersive theaters at resolutions of  up to 8k x 4k.

We have also teamed up with 360Cities to bring their library of images to the fulldome and immersive theater environments.

Photos are from my hikes and explorations in the mountains surrounding Los Angeles and various trips mostly to the eastern sierras 

I have been creating 360-degree panoramas since 2004.
