Erik Rauch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Erik Rauch (May 15, 1974-July 14, 2005) was a theoretical ecologist who worked at NECSI, MIT, Santa Fe Institute, Yale University, Princeton University, and other institutions. Rauch's most notable paper was published in Nature and concerned the mathematical modeling of the conservation of biodiversity.
His hobby of collecting place names led Rauch to found MetaCarta with John Frank and Doug Brenhouse. Using MetaCarta's software, Rauch developed maps like the four below for fun.
He died in a hiking accident [1] in California's Sequoia National Park at age 31.
