Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

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.
