Through a combination of softwares and scripting languages, I’ve built a toolset of options for myself that allow me to process data as automatically and efficiently as possible. This reduces errors, costs, and allows staff to focus on less tedious tasks. Visualization toolsets like those in python and R allow me to produce interactive and …
Specializing in high accuracy RTK photogrammetry, have put drones to use across the country to produce 2d orthoimagery layers, 3d point clouds and models, and to produce photo/video marketing material. Classified and RGB(true color) point clouds are derived from photogrammetric datasets captured by automated drone flight plans. This allows high accuracy topographic information and “digital …
Various projects have required high accuracy mapping services by utilizing RTK GPS units and/or lidar scanning. Including stormwater systems, archaeology projects, railroad projects, and others.
Bathymetric measurement, primarily using single beam or ADCP units, at a wide variety of locations and using various vessels, including remote platforms.
Field measurement efforts in support of hydroelectric dam relicensing projects. Primarily quantifying the geophysical stream classifications, measuring discharge, and habitat mapping.
Deployed water quality monitoring equipment, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling loggers, and level loggers at a wide variety of freshwater and marine sites and projects. Often required custom solutions to adapt hardware to unique environments and conditions.
At a number of power plants, cooling water systems, and an upstate NY salt factory. Thermal plume 3d mapping for extent and impact, for Clean Water Act 316(a) compliance.
A number of projects have involved extensive fisheries sampling. In estuarine and marine habitat through bottom trawl, mid-water trawl, ichthyoplankton frames, and various dredges and pots. At shoreside facilities, mainly power plants, Manhattan cooling water systems, and an upstate NY salt factory, impingment/entrainment sampling quantified fisheries impact for Clean Water Act 316(b) compliance. In freshwater …
Before construction, moved an active oyster reef by harvesting at known locations in the construction zone and relocating to an area that would remain undisturbed. During construction, provided a variety of field monitoring for environmental compliance. Water quality monitoring, sturgeon, and underwater noise monitoring during pile driving, dredging, and other bottom disturbing activities. At the …

Survey and construction monitoring for a number of underwater electrical routes. A combination of multi-beam bathymetry, side scan sonar, sub-bottom profilers, and magnetometers used to map routes. Biological and geophysical sampling along route. During construction, real-time water samples of the sediment plume from disturbed bottoms were collected. In addition, an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler was …
