Beth Klusinske, Research Analyst
Beth Klusinske began working for ASFPM in November, 2017, initially as a Library Assistant, before transitioning to a research role one year later. Prior to her time at ASFPM, she wrote and edited physics, climatology, and environmental and earth science content (mainly for textbooks and online courses), and worked the circulation desk at Madison Public Library. She holds a master’s degree in Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences and a certificate in Air Resources Management from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In addition to research, she writes and edits a wide variety of floodplain management-related materials (including story maps), and still catalogs the occasional library item.
Eleanor Rappolee, GIS Research Analyst
Eleanor Rappolee is a GIS Research Analyst in the Flood Science Center at the Association of State Floodplain Managers or ASFPM. Eleanor has a bachelors of science in Geological Sciences and GIS and a master's degree in Environmental Social Science, all from Michigan State University. Eleanor was a NOAA Digital Coast Fellow from 2020-2022 where she led a project with ASFPM and Coastal States Organization on developing training and technical assistance for communities dealing with repetitive loss properties. Before that, she worked at the USGS in Reston, VA on fluvial geomorphology. Recently, her work has involved developing training and guidance on identifying flood hazards, mapping future climate scenarios, conducting vulnerability assessments, and leading needs assessments for local communities.
Jacob Jett, Research Librarian
Jacob Jett is the Association’s Research Librarian. An expert in data and metadata standards and management, he received his Masters in Library and Information Science in 2007, followed by a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Digital Libraries in 2010, and completed his PhD studies at the University of Illinois’ iSchool in 2019.
