Spatial Analysis
Data processing, visualization and analysis in Linux and open source software. Areas of interest:
Weather
Working with global forecasts of potential weather scenarios from the Canadian GEM model. Also, current meteorology data from METAR reports.
Remote Sensing
Doing terrain and hydrological analysis on global 30m and 90m digital elevation models from ALOS and SRTM. Also, image classification and vegetation indices on Landsat and MODIS imagery.
Planning & Development
