Judy Troutwine is an information technology specialist working with the Economic Aspects of Forest Management on Public Lands research work unit. She is a fourth-generation Missoulian and keeps coming back. She has a B.A. with honors in mathematics from Western State College of Colorado, a M.A. in geography from the University of Montana, and also studied graduate mathematics at UM. She first became acquainted with research in the Forest Service with a stint as a statistical technician at the Fire Sciences Laboratory. She then lived and worked in the mountains of Colorado for some years and became reacquainted with the Forest Service through a summer position at the Forestry Sciences Laboratory during graduate school. After exploring a small portion of the infinite wonders of mathematics (while also working as technical editor for the Rocky Mountain Mathematics Consortium), she discovered the promising technology of geographic information systems. She gained experience with a position at the Powell Ranger Station (Clearwater National Forest) and three research positions on two UM campuses. She began GIS operations technical support and GIS applications development programming activities for the MAGIS (Multiple-resource Analysis and Geographic Information Systems, an optimization modeling system for ecosystem management) project in 1999.
