Jesús Rueda-Becerril, PhD
I hold a PhD in Astrophysics with a passion for data-driven problem-solving and environmental impact. My expertise spans scientific programming languages like Fortran, Python, C/C++, and R, as well as high-performance computing, statistical modeling, and machine learning. I take a cross-disciplinary approach to modeling complex systems, from extragalactic jets to wetland ecosystems. Growing up in the highlands of central Mexico, I developed a deep appreciation for natural landscapes, which fuels my applied research at the intersection of physics, computation, and ecology.
My career bridges astrophysics and ecological modeling, applying remote sensing and geospatial analysis to better understand and help restore wetland systems. At TealWaters, I contribute to developing and refining tools like the Wetland Intrinsic Potential (WIP), which integrates geomorphic and hydrologic indicators to map wetlands and support sustainable land management.

Rich Watts
Rich Watts, PhD (he/him, il/lui) Environmental Humanist, University of Washington
Richard Watts is associate professor in the Department of French and Italian Studies, co-creator of the Environments, Cultures, and Values minor, and founding director of the Translation Studies Hub at the University of Washington, Seattle. His research lies at the intersection of francophone postcolonial studies and the environmental humanities. He is currently completing a book project titled Reclaimed Waters: Literary History, Translation, and Resource Decolonization in the Francophone Post/colonial World that considers how rapid social-hydrological change is altering water’s symbolic value in literature, cinema and other forms of cultural production. This research project also takes form in documentary films: mARTinique: Art in a Poisoned Land (2023), Repair the World: Oumar Ball in Conversation with Abderrahmane Sissako (w/Danny Hoffman, 2023), and Tambass: Life in Spite of it All (w/Maureen Ryan, Meghan Halabisky, and Danny Hoffman, 2025).

Jesse Anderson
Jesse Anderson (he/him) Spatial Data Scientist
Jesse Anderson is a member of the product development team at TealWaters. Though his academic background is in ecology, his main interest is producing quality data products at scale. His recent accomplishments include development of a coastal change dataset across 22 countries as part of Digital Earth Pacific, and contributions to global maps of structural connectivity and avoided forest conversion for a global non-profit. He aims to bridge the gap between scientific research and decision-making via the shared language of data and information.

Dan Miller, PhD
Dan Miller, PhD (he/him) Geomorphologist
Prior to employment in science, I worked as a laborer, a truck driver, and a machinist. I also served as a Peace Corps volunteer and trainer in Nepal helping to build drinking water systems in the Himalayas. Mostly, after a Bachelor’s degree in physics, a Master’s in geophysics, and a PhD in geomorphology, I’ve worked as a geomorphologist.
Like all of us seeking to understand our world, I am constrained by the limits of what I can see and experience. For the past 35 years, I’ve worked to expand those limits using field observations and computer modeling to find new ways to see what we’re looking at. I’ve done this as a consultant with M2 Environmental Services (in collaboration with my wife Lynne) and as a researcher at Earth Systems Institute, TerrainWorks, and now with TealWaters. My goal is that everyone – legislators, regulators, landowners, planners, the voting public – be cognizant of the potential consequences of the actions we take, or don’t take, in managing natural resources, in assessing and mitigating natural hazards, and in protecting and restoring the environments we live in.
Maureen Ryan, PhD
Maureen Ryan, PhD (she/they) Multidisciplinary Development Lead
Maureen studies the effects of climate and human-induced hydrologic change on amphibians and freshwater wetland ecosystems, and co-leads projects at the intersections of sciences, arts, and humanities. Her current and recent collaborative projects include a documentary film project in Mauritania titled Life In Spite of It All: Water, Wetlands, and Reclamation in a Changing Climate (with Danny Hoffman, Rich Watts, and Meghan Halabisky) and a collaborative art-science project with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe focused on water and climate change (with artist Mikey Mills). Past projects involve Indigenous knowledge, science, and policy in the US and Canada, interdisciplinary teaching, and partnerships with conservationists around the world. Maureen has a committed studio practice in painting, mixed media drawing, and printmaking and recently started playing classical guitar.
