Troy Blandford is the Water Information System Manager at the Montana State Library and works with hydrography, lidar, imagery, and other water- related geospatial data every day.  After graduating from the University of Idaho with a B.S in Environmental Science and an M.S in Geography specializing in GIS and remote sensing, Troy was hired by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation to manage water rights, irrigated lands, floodplains, climatologic, physiographic, and other water-resources related GIS data. Now at the Montana State Library, Troy continues to apply his skills and experience in geography and GIS towards facilitating discovery and use of Montana’s water-related information.  Troy lives in Helena and spends his time fueling passions of fly fishing, following his dogs on bird hunts, camping, hiking and, of course, just being around Montana’s beautiful lakes, rivers, and streams.
