Designed flux funnel and carried out field research on the Mackenzie Delta to study methane flux from natural source methane seeps. Study has spanned 2006 through 2009 with field visits in spring summer and fall. Field investigations have included sonar and ROV surveys, gas chemistry sampling, hydrophone mooring deployments and sediment bearing capacity using a ground penetrating penetrometer.

Modelled Gas Hydrate volumetric reserves based on adjacent well log geophysical data. Using ROCKWORK, calculated reserve volumes based on gas hydrate saturation thresholds. (PGC)

Calculated Sea Surface Eddy Areas enclosed by Haida and Sitka Eddies as determined by 10 and 15 cm height contours on images produced by Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research (Institute of Ocean Sciences - IOS)

Gas Hydrate Seismic and Well simulation animations
Created process animations depicting seismic testing and theorectical gas hydrate extraction using thermal and pressure stimulation (Pacific Geoscience Centre - PGC)

Gas Hydrate Core Project
Created HTML catalogue of core photos & logs and extracted EMI data (PGC).

TOPEX/Poseidon Sea Surface Height Anomalies (animation) (1.3 Mb gif)
Topex Satellite Sea Surface Height Anomalies along the BC Coast (97-98 El Nino)(IOS).

Global El Nino and La Nina (animation) (184 Kb wmv format)
A series of composite satellite images were animated to visualize the global influence of El Nino and La Nina (IOS). Legend for animation.

Digital Terrain Fly Throughs (animation) (850 Kb wmv format)
Evaluated the software "Fledermaus" utilizing LIDAR data and orthophotographs to create interactive terrain fly throughs (Terra Remote Sensing Inc.).

Calculated Sound Speed Correction for IPS
Calculated beta term to correct sound speed for the Ice Profiling Sonar (ASL).

Endeavour Hot Vents Area: A Pilot Marine Protected Area in Canada's Pacific Waters. Ecosystem Overview: Ecological, Social and Economic Components. See link for details (IPOST).

Airborne EM System Used to Measure Ice Thickness
Conducted field surveys with the Institute of Ocean Sciences to ground truth EM system (IOS).
