INTRODUCTION
Hi. I'm Tristan Howard. I'm a geographer/author, and this site features my creative projects and research efforts. Click on the blue hyperlinked headings below to learn more. I work as a research specialist and cartographer, but my free time is focused on exploration, science education/entertainment, and natural history filmmaking and photography. I have a BA and MS in Geography along with a certificate in geographic information systems (GIS). I have also been shooting wildlife videos for over 20 years and started on the remote ranchlands where I grew up at the edge of a volcano.

PUBLISHING
I published an epic science-fiction adventure novel in 2022. I also wrote published wildlife policy research and newspaper articles in 2012-2013, and I have ideas for more fiction and non-fiction publishing.
THE JURASSIC FRONTIER E-BOOK IS FREE TO AMAZON PRIME MEMBERS. IF YOU DON'T HAVE PRIME, YOU CAN ALSO SIGN UP FOR A FREE KINDLE REVIEW COPY.
NATURE MULTIMEDIA
I have been documenting the wildlife and wildlands of California and the American West with video cameras and still cameras for over 20 years, and I have made three wildlife documentaries that aired on PBS in 2007, 2009, and 2010. I continue to maintain and add to a vast stock footage library comprised of SD, 1080 HD, and 4K HD videos. I also record natural sounds.
CARTOGRAPHY & GIS
I have created a variety of mapping and GIS products since 2012. This link provides just a sampling of some of my efforts.
RESEARCH
As part of earning my MS in Geography, I conducted a variety of natural resource policy analysis with a focus on bighorn/domestic sheep interaction management in the context of preventing disease.
