Q. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us, Brian. Can you tell us a bit about your background?<\/h3>\n

A. I grew up on the edge of the woods in the Pacific Northwest, so that fostered a natural interest in wild landscapes and environmental issues. As an undergraduate, I studied biology and ecology and went on to get a master\u2019s degree in teaching.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Q. It seems that your path didn\u2019t end at teaching, though. What was the detour?<\/h3>\n

A. I had the opportunity to become a conservationist at the Limahuli National Tropical Botanical Gardens on the north shore of Kaua\u2019i. Even though I grew up loving maps, my work in invasive species control and planting restoration led me to really use GIS for the first time \u2013 and it was awesome. Inspired by this work and the academic researchers who visited the gardens, I pursued a PhD in landscape ecology. I ultimately landed on wildfires and global climate change and went on to teach at the University of Alaska for several years.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2511012,"id":2511012,"title":"edges greenland (2)","filename":"edges-greenland-2.png","filesize":2360177,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/edges-greenland-2.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-storymaps\/constituent-engagement\/exploring-the-edges-of-life-an-interview-with-brian-buma\/edges-greenland-2","alt":"","author":"345372","description":"","caption":"Several current northernmost records are found in the fjords of Glacier Bay, Alaska.

Q. Wild landscapes, indeed. How did your time in Alaska inform your interest in the edges of life?<\/h3>\n

A. I was able to contribute to some of the first geospatial work in the Tongass National Forest in southeast Alaska, which was a lot of fun because even the most basic discoveries were still new discoveries. It actualized that curiosity I had as a kid, wondering what the highest thing was on a mountain or the lowest thing in a cave.

Q. After Alaska, what was the next adventure?<\/h3>\n

A. As adventures often do, the next one began at a bar with my friend Andres Holz. We were simply wondering where the southernmost tree in the world could be found, which led us to pursue and receive funding from the National Geographic Society to go find it. We were able to gather new scientific data from this extremely remote area (Isla Hornos in the Cape Horn archipelago), which was shared in the National Geographic magazine and a paper published by us. I was interested, though, in how I could give this feeling of exploration to everyone \u2013 beyond just reading about it.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2510982,"id":2510982,"title":"edges greenland (1)","filename":"edges-greenland-1.png","filesize":3055238,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/edges-greenland-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-storymaps\/constituent-engagement\/exploring-the-edges-of-life-an-interview-with-brian-buma\/edges-greenland-1","alt":"","author":"345372","description":"","caption":"Jeff Kerby and Alejandra Borunda explore the edges of life at Peary Land, Greenland, the northernmost mainland on Earth.

Q. It sounds like we\u2019ve reached the part of the story where iNaturalist and ArcGIS StoryMaps come into play.<\/h3>\n

A. Yes. I realized two things: anyone could help identify what we were calling “the edges of life,” and those observations meant more than just fostering the excitement of exploration. By studying the edge of any species, we can learn how they adapt to climate change over time, and with tens of thousands of species just in North America, we need citizen science to help gather all that data.<\/p>\n

iNaturalist, a social network for sharing biodiversity information, is an easy entry point for anyone to contribute to major scientific data repositories. For example, by including iNaturalist data in my story, educators can use it easily to guide data collection with their students. The location of their schools will fit into an iNaturalist range limit, and teachers can pick a species at their south and north range limits as a jumping-off point. Something as simple as this can really help students understand how climates and habitats work.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2511362,"id":2511362,"title":"edges intro (3)","filename":"edges-intro-3.png","filesize":2426610,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/edges-intro-3.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-storymaps\/constituent-engagement\/exploring-the-edges-of-life-an-interview-with-brian-buma\/edges-intro-3","alt":"","author":"345372","description":"","caption":"iNaturalist Observations data are now available in the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.

Q. How did you come to use ArcGIS StoryMaps? How did it help facilitate your desire to inspire others?<\/h3>\n

A. Although our story was shared in the National Geographic magazine, I was also interested in a more interactive method that could really inspire people to get outside and go collect some data. I expressed this and was connected to a member of the StoryMaps team by National Geographic Geographer Alex Tait who wrote <\/span>Mapping Mount Everest<\/span><\/a> using the tool.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, a major point of the story was to communicate science, so the basic capability to combine narrative with multimedia and maps allowed me to do so. But I also wanted to communicate the thrill of identifying species in the natural world and having web maps with iNaturalist data that readers can interact with helps initiate that feeling of being a part of the action.

Q. It\u2019s been so great talking to you. Do you have any final advice or thoughts for our readers?<\/h3>\n

A. Anyone can be an explorer. With tools like iNaturalist and ArcGIS StoryMaps, it really enables folks to explore right outside their doorstep. I think it\u2019s fun to embrace the challenge of it, to see if you can find a farther edge of life than what\u2019s already been discovered. It doesn\u2019t need to be the edge of the world; it can also just be the closest mountain or valley. Just find where there\u2019s a gap and go fill it!<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2510252,"id":2510252,"title":"separators (29)","filename":"separators-29.png","filesize":19649,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/separators-29.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-storymaps\/constituent-engagement\/exploring-the-edges-of-life-an-interview-with-brian-buma\/separators-29","alt":"","author":"345372","description":"","caption":"","name":"separators-29","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2509042,"date":"2024-09-30 19:52:26","modified":"2024-09-30 19:52:26","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1024,"height":175,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/separators-29-213x175.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":175,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/separators-29.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":79,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/separators-29.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":131,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/separators-29.png","large-width":1024,"large-height":175,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/separators-29.png","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":175,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/separators-29.png","2048x2048-width":1024,"2048x2048-height":175,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/separators-29-826x141.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":141,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/separators-29.png","wide_image-width":1024,"wide_image-height":175}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
