Teresa Olson, MGIS

Teresa works on a range of water rights projects including water court cases, adjudication issue resolution, ownership issues, new permitting, and dispute resolution. Bringing nearly 20 years of experience in the field, she’s also equipped for on-site investigations,
water measurement, acting as expert witness, and presenting at public meetings.

Teresa is passionate about educating water users in the complicated world of water rights and leveraging advanced geospatial technology to support her work. She has extensive experience applying GIS to water research and legal investigations—mapping historical irrigation patterns, analyzing aerial imagery, conducting spatial data modeling, and using remote sensing to evaluate land use and vegetation trends over time. Teresa regularly integrates satellite and aerial data into her analyses and has used deep learning and cloud-based geospatial platforms to support complex decision-making.

She has worked for State and Federal agencies as well as operating a private consulting firm. Teresa recently completed her Master’s in GIS through Penn State University (World Campus) along with a Professional Certificate in Remote Sensing.
