Data Manager

Deanne DiPietro joined the CA LCC team in July 2012 together with Zhahai Stewart. With their complementary skillsets they form the Data Management team for the CA LCC, responsible for assisting LCC project leads in managing and sharing the data and information products of their work for the benefit of the conservation and research communities. Deanne and Zhahai also participate at the national level in LCC data management projects, collaborating with other informatics professionals to develop solutions for data exchange between LCCs.

Deanne has been dedicated to improving access to environmental data for 20 years. Her work with the California Resources Agency’s CERES Program, the UC Davis Information Center for the Environment, the National Biological Information Infrastructure, and Sonoma Ecology Center has developed her skills in digital library technology, communications, systems design, and informatics project leadership. Together with partners at PRBO Conservation Science and ICE she has created the California Climate Commons, a website dedicated to making it easy to find and understand the latest climate change science for use in land management decisions and planning.

Deanne has a Bachelor of Science degree in botany and Master of Arts in geography, both from UC Davis. Deanne is fond of desert ecosystems, working with dogs, and paddle-sports.
