Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Storing maps and other spatial information into computer databases, and creating models for decision-making based on that information.
  • Set up the GIS laboratory for USEPA, Cincinnati, and set up their GIS-based water quality modeling infrastructure. Completed key work on a GIS project sponsored by the USEPA and the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO). As a part of this project, several Arc/Info databases on a UNIX workstation were developed and AML programs for spill modeling in the Ohio River Basin were written to significantly aid in the decision-making.

  • Generated web-based interactive GIS maps using ESRI's MapObjects Internet Map Server for the Ohio River Valley Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO).

  • Used Tri-Service Spatial Data Standards as a tool in modeling of EPANET parameters for a GIS project at the Scott Air Force Base.

  • Installed and upgraded GIS related software (ARC/INFO, ArcView, and ERDAS IMAGINE) and resolved licensing and other issues in the EPA NRMRL GIS laboratory.

  • Extracted the Ohio River Basin related GIS database coverage from the Ohio River Valley Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) server and installed these coverages at the EPA GIS lab.

  • Implemented a project involving source water protection area definition using Arc/Info for the intakes in Cairo, Illinois.

  • Programmed a GUI using Arc Macro Language to seamlessly integrate spill modeling system into Arc/Info GIS.
