Work focused on hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, stormwater and green infrastructure design, site remediation and restoration, and climate resiliency. Specific project applications have included offshore wind development & permitting, coastal restoration, bridge scour analysis, sediment transport, and remediation design.
Developed a remote sensing water quality model to predict concentrations of suspended sediments and colored dissolved organic material from in situ optical data. Findings presented at the AGU Ocean Sciences Meeting in Portland, OR in February 2018.
Collected water samples at points of recreation within the Mystic River Watershed and tested for enterococcus and e. coli population sizes. Data was used to develop a weather-event based water quality model to help inform public of bacterial risk at beaches and public docks after rain events.
