I have worked with Zev Ross for more than 10 years on several high-profile research projects, and from working with many people in the field, I can say without hesitation that Zev is one of the best spatial analysis consultants in the business. He has a keen eye for detail and writes clearly. He has taken the lead on several academic papers and gotten them published in respected journals, which attests to his writing skill.

Zev's expertise in R programming expands his repertoire of spatial analytic methods considerably. Finally he’s extremely knowledgeable about environmental exposure data and how to work with these data in a way that ensures the highest possible quality. I am happy to give him my highest recommendation.
