BIOGRAPHY

My name is Stanley Mordensky. I am currently serving as a Mendenhall Research Fellow with the U.S. Geological Survey as part of the Geothermal Machine Learning Task, where I am designing machine learning tools to locate and identify natural resources (i.e., geothermal systems). Being in a term appointment, I am actively seeking opportunities to continue work in data science, machine learning, geoscience, and teaching. I am open to remote work and relocation.

My work has taken me from the Appalachian Mountains (e.g., Mount Rogers) to the Rockies (e.g., Yellowstone Volcano), the Cascades (e.g., North Sister, Belknap, Mount Washington), Hawaii (e.g., Kilauea, Mauna Loa) and New Zealand (e.g., Ruapehu). My geoscience background is deeply seated in field mapping, petrology, and petrophysical rock properties (e.g., mechanical and physical). I have a strong interest in sharing all I have learned with others around me.

I am also an aspiring professional backcountry photographer. This hobby has included thru-hike several long-distance trails. During these walks, I take pleasure in photographing the experience. See the Photo Gallery.

Appalachian Trail (2013)
Pacific Crest Trail (2015)
Continental Divide Trail (2019)
Te Araroa (South Island) (2019)
