Conduct simulations to evaluate future land use patterns based on socioeconomic trends and policy drivers.
Collect, clean, and validate demographic, economic, and geographic data from public and private sources.
Ensure transparency and reproducibility by maintaining data dictionaries and process documentation.
Perform quality assurance checks to ensure accuracy of datasets and models, produce technical outputs such as reports and dashboards, and support internal and external stakeholders in interpreting model results.
Respond to data requests related to population, employment, and land use from local governments, research institutions, consultants, and the public, and serve as the primary contact for external data inquiries.
Present technical concepts clearly to non-technical audience.
