Wally MacFarlane works full time at Utah State University where he manages the Wheaton/Macfarlane Ecogeomorphlogy and Topographic Analysis Lab (ETAL). Wally is a geospatial scientist with 20 years of experience developing and using innovative GIS, photogrammetry and remote sensing techniques to assess climate and land-use induced environmental change. Wally was instrumental in leading the development of BRAT (Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool) and RCAT (Riparian Condition Assessment Tool). As Wally's research started to focus more on planning and prioritization tools for restoration and conservation, he began getting more involved in the on-the-ground restoration. Wally leads his own restoration projects in Utah.
Wally earned an MS in Environmental Science from Bard College in 1999. Before that he earned a BS in Environmental Studies from Utah State University. While Wally gets more work done in a day than most of us do in a week, he also typically is doing that after already sneaking out that morning for some epic adventure. Wally is notorious for leading an annual spring triathlon of skiing, followed by mountain biking, followed by whitewater kayaking. When he's not launching himself off a waterfall or cliff, he's usually out exploring similarly beautiful landscapes with his two sons and wife Sammie. Wally is a walking atlas of most rivers and peaks within 4 hours of Utah and everywhere in the state. |
