jacob berryhill, M.S. - research ENGINEER
A land surveyor from 1999 - 2008 performing construction and title surveys, before going to college to earn a bachelor's degree in GIS and a master's degree in Geospatial Survey Engineering. Jake has worked as a student researcher for MANTIS since 2013 where he started researching UAS fieldwork and data processing for mapping with some of the earliest available commercial systems. His interests include all things mapping especially geodesy, remote sensing, and data visualization. Growing up in an ocean/beach-orientated family, he has spent a lifetime exploring, experiencing, and studying the Texas gulf coast from Bolivar to SPI. Jake considers himself a steward of the unique coastal region and is honored to have the opportunity to map it, furthering the scientific knowledge base for the benefit of the region's future.
