G.I.S. Analyst

Performed office and field-based Geographic Information Systems work. Utilized ESRI's ArcMap 9.3 along with the following extensions: Spatial Analyst, 3-D Analyst, Arc Publisher and Spatial Statistics. Duties included, but were not limited to, digitizing hard copy maps, creating contours based on USGS Digital Elevation Maps, maintaining file geodatabases for multiple projects, interpolating groundwater data using Spatial Analyst and creating 3-D groundwater contaminant plume migration models using 3-D Analyst. Duties also included performing field work using TopCon's GMS-2 hand-held GPS along with ESRI's ArcPad Software to survey an EPA Superfund site in Western New York for purposes of compiling historic information as well as entering new sampling information into a user-friendly G.I.S geo-database.

Student Researcher

Worked as part of a group to identify the location of an unidentified area of the United States. Determination was based on spectral analyses using ENVI. Images of the location in varying ranges of the non-visible EM spectrum were provided and the mineralogical constituents of the subject area were determined based on known mineral spectral ranges.

Student Researcher

Participated in a group project for the Jonah Center for Earth and Arts through which the methane production potential / capacity of a retired landfill was examined.

Student Researcher

Worked in the planetary science lab examining Mars Orbital Camera MOC images. The primary goal was to classify Martian gullies using descriptors to determine age and possible mechanisms of formation. Analyzed THEMIS thermal imagery for calculation of Martian surface temperatures. I employed GIS to correlate the descriptors on a Martian surface map using a lat/long projection. Loaded the descriptors into a database within Arc MAP so a user could query any number of search strings within the Arc MAP program in order to view gully distribution

Student Researcher

Worked with a group of 3 other students to complete mapping for the Middlesex Land Trust of a recently-acquired town park using GPS and ArcMap. Utilizing Arc MAP, I conducted spatial analysis of land adjacent to the Airline Trail, a CT state hiking trail The Land Trust used our data to prioritize potential land acquisitions
