Graduate Research Assistant at Auburn University
Mapping and analyzing watershed characteristics using GIS
Sediment Fingerprinting to identify the sources of in-stream sediments in an urbanized watershed.
Statistical Analysis to apportion the relative contribution of the source areas to the stream bed sediments at sub-watershed scale to aid in developing efficient remediation strategies for environmental problems.
Developed watershed model (SWAT) project for the Moore's Mill Creek Watershed
Studying the impact on hydrology and water quality due to land use change in the area
Watershed management, sediment and nutrient Control
Assessing the impacts of best management practices (BMPs) on water and nutrient flow by watershed modeling technique using Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)
