The goal of this Master’s thesis project is to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to determine which mode of deposition (structural features or lithologic changes) better explains the linear depositional pattern of mercuric minerals within the Arkansas mercury district by examining which potential control mechanism is closer to the deposit locations. Presumably, the closer a controlling mechanism is to the site of deposition, the more influence it will have on the deposit location.

The goal of this project is to develop a mobile monitoring system for an ad-hoc transit system. This system will provide mobile device users with accurate location information of vehicles not necessarily adhering to a strict route of transit. We plan to provide this service not only to transit users with handheld mobile devices, but also to businesses known to serve large numbers of transit users with custom-built "kiosks".

Evaluate model performance using better precipitation data for the Nonpoint Source Pollution and Erosion Comparison Tool (N-SPECT) to generate outputs that are more accurate.
(2009)
The goal of this project is to test and validate next generation Global Precipitation Measurement Mission (GPM) data to 1) enhance the current satellite-based inputs into SERVIR, 2) replace AMSR-E data used for SERVIR’s flood Decision Support System (DSS) for floods and 3) calibrate flood extent information generated from AMSR-E data with gauging data in Central America.

The goal of this project is to investigate the use of satellite remotely sensed evapotranspiration data in watershed pollution prediction model and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the model.
(2008)
The goal of this project is to assess the capability of NASA’s upcoming Visible Infrared Imager / Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) satellite sensor for contributing to the development of a near real time forest fire potential decision support system in Guatemala.
(2008)
The goal of this project is to develop and test digital field mapping solutions to support disaster preparedness while providing worldwide access to any collected data for World Vision International or other staff as a tool to communicate disaster need to potential donors.
