Delineating Urban Lake Watersheds using Arc Hydro
Posted 6 months ago
Many natural and anthropogenic processes occurring within a lake’s watershed directly affect lake water quality (Soranno et al., 2015). As such, delineating the bounds of a lake’s watershed is often the first step towards identifying factors driving changes in water quality over time. This critical step can be achieved with the help of Arc Hydro, […]
Watershed Analysis Over the Don Valley River: The Potential Pathways of Aqueous Pollutants
Posted 6 months ago
Water is a crucial catalyst in propelling an inexhaustible list of anthropogenic activities such as agricultural practices, daily household commodities, and industrial/mining pursuits. Despite being limited to such a finite supply of freshwater resources, future generations will find themselves in a troubling situation as this fundamental resource is being exploited to an irreparable extent by […]

Introduction For the past few months I had the pleasure to be working with my supervisor to construct a series of 2D thermal composites using ArcMap from a set of 3D images taken by a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) thermal camera in the field. The difficulty of the project comes from the fact that our images […]
The Deeper Picture on Ghost Gear
Posted 7 months ago
Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is considered one of the most important marine debris issues that continues to threaten ocean sustainability. Globally, researchers are collectively working towards finding solutions to mitigate the impacts and reduce the presence of ALDFG in our oceans. Often, fishers don’t want to lose their gear, as it […]
