Jeff Stone, GISP, CFM, Flood Science Center Co-Director and Research & Development Manager
Jeff Stone, ASFPM’s Flood Science Center senior research manager, manages research and outreach projects that inform flood policy through science. Projects include, but are not limited to, developing and evaluating tools, websites and software; researching legal, practical and technological issues related to flood management policy and practices; and communicating effective use of GIS tools and applications aimed at floodplain management through webinars and workshops. Stone has over 25 years of experience working with and applying GIS to a variety of energy-related and natural resource projects. Much of his work focuses on development of visualization tools and usability of interactive, web-based maps that bridge the gap between public understanding and scientific knowledge. He earned his B.S. and M.S. in GIS with a strong emphasis on coastal and fluvial geomorphology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Genevieve Moran, Flood Science Center Co-Director and Portfolio Manager
Jenna joined the Flood Science Center as a Senior Project Manager in October 2020. Before coming to ASFPM, Jenna was the Associate Program Director for Resilience at the National Association of Counties, where she handled grants and initiatives relating to resilience and community and economic development. Jenna holds a Master of Public Administration from The George Washington University and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Notre Dame. Before transitioning into the world of resilience, she worked in arts and culture as a stage manager and a design program specialist at the National Endowment for the Arts.
Bill Brown, P.E., Senior Project Manager
Bill Brown is the senior project manager and past Director of ASFPM's Flood Science Center. He oversees science-based research projects focused on reducing flood risk. Prior to his tenure with ASFPM, he was hired as the inaugural stormwater executive manager for the city of Arlington, Texas where he directed the development of a comprehensive stormwater and floodplain management program. Over his 30-plus year career, Bill has worked in the private sector, municipal and county stormwater and floodplain management programs, academia, and not-for-profit organizations focused on reducing flood risk while improving the environment. He previously served as chair of the Illinois Association for Floodplain and Stormwater Management, past co-chair of ASFPM’s Mapping and Engineering Standards Committee and ASFPM’s Stormwater Management Committee, adjunct faculty member for the University of Texas at Arlington Department of Civil Engineering, served on a National Research Council for the National Academy of Science committee studying FEMA flood maps and served an appointment to the federal Advisory Committee on Water Information.
Alan Lulloff, P.E., CFM, Senior Project Manager
Alan Lulloff is a senior project manager at ASFPM’s Flood Science Center. He managed the development and publication of several reports, including the Coastal No Adverse Impact Handbook, A Strategy to Reduce the Risks and Impacts of Dams on Floodplains and Flood Mapping for the Nation – A Cost Analysis for the Nation’s Flood Map Inventory. In addition to ASFPM’s published reports, Lulloff developed training materials for one-day workshops on NAI flood risk reduction, coastal flood risk reduction and a week-long course on how to use GIS for floodplain management risk assessments. Before joining ASFPM in 2004, Lulloff spent 32 years with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in floodplain management, dam safety, water supply, groundwater management and water quality. He holds an environmental engineering degree from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, is a registered professional engineer in Wisconsin and a Certified Floodplain Manager.
Jason Hochschild, GIS Administrator
Jason Hochschild is a GIS analyst with ASFPM’s Flood Science Center. He is a key contributor to the Flood Science Center’s GIS, web mapping projects and projects requiring HAZUS analysis. Hochschild has contributed to the development of several online mapping applications such as the Great Lakes Coastal Oblique Photo Viewer and administering an outreach website developed to support FEMA's Great Lakes Coastal Flood Mapping Project. He continues to enhance web-based mapping and outreach tools that support floodplain management and flood risk communication, and performs GIS analyses that support Flood Science Center projects. Hochschild has over 20 years of work experience in the GIS field and holds an undergraduate degree in geography (human/environment interaction focus) and a graduate-level GIS Certificate, both from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
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 NOAA Digital Coast Fellow working with the ASFPM'S Flood Science Center and the Coastal States Organization on the Mitigating Multiple Loss Properties project. A Michigan native, Eleanor holds a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree in Geological Sciences, both from Michigan State University. Her interests lie at the intersection between natural hazards and policy, and therefore are reflected in her research experiences. As an undergraduate student, Eleanor researched earthquakes in the Midwest using seismographs, programming, and GIS techniques. Eleanor's graduate research focused on public perception of and response to flooding in Michigan, and how these two phenomena differ geographically. In-between school, Eleanor worked at the U.S. Geological Survey researching changes in fluvial morphology due to increased flood frequency and magnitude in the Northeast. Now, at ASFPM, she is contributing her blend of skills and interests to build a repetitive loss guide for state and local floodplain managers.
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. Jacob manages the ASPM library resources as well as fielding reference questions from the library’s users. His past project work has included creating metadata standards for digital collections at the HathiTrust Research Center, creating a video game metadata standard in collaboration with the University of Washington’s GAMER group, and coordinating research projects involving data standards and digital libraries.
