Current Research

Currently I am working on a project to identify sources of pollution in Falls and Jordan Lakes, NC, both municipal drinking water supplies. With our field equipment I can measure water quality parameters like Nitrate and CDOM (Colored Dissolved Organic Material) concentrations and present this data in Arc GIS maps that reveal patterns and sources of contamination.
