Part-time Contract position. Updated and validated Marshlands Atlas, ensured compliance with GeoNova Data and Metadata standards and established maintenance schedule and procedures.

Developed a flood plain model for the French Bay Tidal Wetland Restoration Project in preparation for culvert replacement and restoration of a more natural hydrological regime. Tasks preformed included processing of LiDAR data, standardization of tide data, and production of flood maps depicting several hydrological scenarios.

Study of coastal change at Cape John, Nova Scotia using historical air photos, LiDAR data and tide gauge data (historical and predicted). Tasks included the calculation of erosion rates for several stretches of shoreline and production of flood maps and videos.
