Ryan R. McShane
Ryan is a hydrologist with the Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center.
His current research focuses on developing decision-support information and tools using geospatial analysis and machine learning models, from local to regional and national scales, for predicting water availability in streams experiencing extended and intensive drought (also used to model species distribution) and for predicting watershed-scale water use for multiple economic sectors, including energy development and food production.
