Susan S. Seitz
As an application and database designer, Susan works with geologists and IT personnel to help design, develop, and implement databases, web applications and internal tools for data management, quality control, and delivery. She supports existing applications such as the DGGS website, publications interface, geochemistry, Map Index, and various other projects. She also fulfills the database administrator duties by troubleshooting, analyzing, modifying, and documenting database design and code for the DGGS (GERILA) PostgresSQL database. In her spare time, she enjoys composting, hair metal bands, and making soup.
