- Developed 1-D hydraulic model (MATLAB) to predict locations where river velocities – within the Fraser River, BC – are likely to exceed salmon swimming capabilities and create migration barriers.- Led a team of technicians and undergraduates in processing drone footage using Particle Image Velocimetry software to create surface velocity maps in areas of concern.

Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

- Organized and lead multi-day field campaigns to collect velocity data from multiple sites along the Fraser River that I identified as being locations of potential hydraulic barriers to salmon based on recorded velocity.- Developed workflow for and processed field data using Particle Image Velocimetry software to create surface velocity maps in areas of concern.

Computer Facility- Measured bed elevation and water depth for images taken from flume experiments investigating bedload transport- Developed models to extract width measurements from Fraser River polygon files using ArcMap- Generated width measurements and assembled a database with these new widths and the existing depth measurements for the Fraser River in British Columbia, between Quesnel and Hope using ArcMapFlume Facility- Assisted with the set up and running of the… Show more Computer Facility- Measured bed elevation and water depth for images taken from flume experiments investigating bedload transport- Developed models to extract width measurements from Fraser River polygon files using ArcMap- Generated width measurements and assembled a database with these new widths and the existing depth measurements for the Fraser River in British Columbia, between Quesnel and Hope using ArcMapFlume Facility- Assisted with the set up and running of the flume (1m width) for experiments which looked at a number of different characteristics associated with suspended sediment transport- Helped establish and run experiments in a narrow flume (3cm width) to demonstrate how, and under what conditions, gravel sand transitions develop in riversSediment Analysis Facility- Measured suspended sediment concentration using a pump and filter system for a number of samples previously collected during flume lab experiments.
