GIS & spatial analysis
Creating maps, handling vector and raster datasets, interpreting terrain, generating contours and profiles, and comparing interpolated surfaces.
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
This page distinguishes methods and software used in university projects and field laboratories from subject knowledge gained through coursework. It is not a list of professional certifications or independent consulting services.
Software, instruments and procedures used during academic projects and laboratory exercises.
Environmental concepts covered through coursework or introductory study.
01 / APPLIED EXPERIENCE
Creating maps, handling vector and raster datasets, interpreting terrain, generating contours and profiles, and comparing interpolated surfaces.
Instrument setup, benchmarks, backsights, profile levelling, traverses, coordinates, repeat observations and field-note QA/QC.
Comparing aerial data products, ground-control observations, orthomosaics, point clouds, DSM/DTM/DEM outputs and positional offsets.
Comparative municipal research, literature review, survey/interview development, findings synthesis, implementation planning and technical presentations.
Recording field observations and interpreting soils, landforms, erosion, sediment and watershed processes through coursework.
Strong hands-on computer troubleshooting, structured product inspection, digital records and communicating issues clearly. Introductory R and programming exposure.
02 / HOW I WORK
Identify the question, source, site, and data needed.
Review completeness, assumptions, and limitations.
Compare spatial, quantitative or policy evidence.
Explain findings in clear maps, reports or presentations.
A summary of steps used across academic research, GIS and field exercises.
03 / ACADEMIC FOUNDATIONS
Knowledge developed through university coursework and independent introductory study. Site assessments, monitoring and contamination topics are not represented here as professional field experience.
Baseline conditions, impact identification, mitigation, monitoring and evidence in environmental decision-making.
Land use, regulatory research, municipal decisions, sustainability and conservation considerations.
Geomorphology, watershed processes, erosion, deposition and the movement of material through the environment.
Introductory study of site assessment, soil and groundwater, contamination pathways, exposure, environmental monitoring and risk assessment. No professional Phase I or Phase II ESA field experience is claimed.
Climate change, environmental management, resource use, decarbonization and tradeoffs across environmental systems.
Research design, qualitative and quantitative reasoning, evidence synthesis, research-ethics training and responsible reporting.
See the Projects page for the coursework, measurements and deliverables associated with these methods.
