Perform confined.

• Identified locations of septic tank leachate fields using Pictometry Oblique Imagery and digitized them as points to create spatial information.
• Conducted basic water quality parameters testing, such as temperature, conductivity, pH, turbidity, chlorophyll-a and dissolved oxygen using a YSI 6600 Sonde.
• Took grab samples and analyzed for the nutrients as follows: TN, TND, TP, TDP, DRP, nitrate, and ammonia, and for conservative tracers, such as chloride, and optical brighteners.
• Develop septic flux modeling by comparing the ranks of stream segments determined from the model and then by water quality data using a Kendall Tau statistic.
• Design maps of stream reaches where septic field contributions are significant.

St. Francis Cemetery, Leroy New York

• Utilized Ground Penetrating Radar to precisely locate caskets in a church cemetery.
• Created a point shapefile of casket locations using RTK-GPS equipment.
• Used Pictometry oblique imagery to digitize headstone locations.
• Utilized ArcMap to create high quality GIS maps that provide critical survey information to client for future interments.

Brockport, NY

• Assisted professor in sediment compaction research of the Mississippi River Delta.
• Researched land subsidence in the Mississippi River Delta by analyzing the role of autocompaction of Holocene sediments.
• Conducted a soil survey analysis utilizing Web Soil Survey and published soil guides to find which soils are more susceptible to autocompaction.
• Used LLG (Low Land Genesis) program to choose 36 cores and identify facies within each core that were collected from the Tulane Quaternary Research group from the Sale-Cypremort Deltaic lobe that would be used for.
• Implemented a published geotechnical equation (Kuecher 1994) for senior thesis to calculate the amount of autocompaction for each of the cores in the Sale-Cypremort.
• Calculated subsidence rate using age of core and autocompaction calculations.
