Education

· Ph.D. 2003 (underway). Department of Geography, University of Manitoba,

with support from the World Bank and CIDA.

Beginning with field programs in the rainy seasons of 1998 and 1999 (January-April) I have mapped and will model the dispersion of suspended sediments from the Linthipe River into the African rift valley Lake Malawi as a part of the World Bank/CIDA Lake Malawi Biodiversity Conservation Project. The plume has been mapped during two rainy seasons using NOAA AVHRR imagery and by conductivity-temperature-depth-optical backscatter profiles along transects off the river mouth. These data will be used to validate a hydrodyamic model of the dispersal of sediment discharged by the Linthipe River.

· M.A. 1999. Department of Geography, University of Manitoba.

Thesis title: Determining Precision of Aquatic Turbidity Measurement by NOAA-N Series AVHRR. I investigated the long term stability of the relationship between albedo measured by NOAA-AVHRR satellites and in-lake measures of turbidity. Data recorded from 1985-1998 by NOAA –9, -10, -11, -12 and –14 satellites was compared with Secchi transparency and beam transmission data from Environment Canada cruises on Lake Erie.

· B.Sc. 1971. Department of Earth Sciences, University of Manitoba.

Employment history

1976-1996: Geomorphologist and hydrologist

Government of Canada, Department of Fisheries and Oceans

· 1994-1996: Studying affect of forestry cutting practises on the input of nutrients to lakes. Through comparison of sedimentation rates with input measurements via stream and precipitation load I have shown that phosphorous inputs to headwater lakes are currently greatly underestimated. My recent work showed that a significant portion of this deficit may be accounted for by direct fall of litter and insects from the forest edge. I developed methods and instituted a program to investigate this process as part of a larger forestry cutting experiment in Northwestern Ontario.

· 1992-1994: Determined, by use of natural and introduced tracers, the rate and degree of mixing of mercury laden waters in flooded bays with the riverine main region, and outflow of an experimental reservoir.

· 1990-1993: Studied mixing and circulation of terrestrial runoff in small Precambrian Shield lakes. I used natural stream water fluorescence and ion concentrations as tracers to calculate the rate and degree of mixing of near-freezing snowmelt runoff plumes which form between the late winter ice cover and the slightly warmer lake water beneath.

· 1986-1991: Studied sediment and water chemistry effects of Churchill River Diversion as part of Federal Ecological Monitoring Project. I determined water, sediment and dissolved chemistry balances for major reaches of the Churchill and Nelson Rivers in northern Manitoba, and supervised a study of Landsat sediment monitoring potential.

· 1978-1986: Studied permafrost-related hydrology and stream water chemistry of several small catchments near Southern Indian Lake, northern Manitoba.

· 1976-1989: Studied erosion and sedimentation on Southern Indian Lake, as part of a physical/biological impoundment impact study. I helped develop a model of shoreline erosion as a function of wave energy and studied the transport pathways of eroded sediment (nearshore shoal deposition, profundal sedimentation, riverine export).

1973-1976: Resource Analyst

Garry Hilderman and Associates, Landscape Architects and Planners

· Inventoried and mapped physical (geology, soils, slopes and drainage, susceptibility to erosion, flooding), biological (plant communities, endangered species) and cultural (land use history, recreational use and potential) parameters for planning projects ranging from city parks to cottage developments, northern communities, and provincial park land use allocation.

1972-1973: Geomorphologist

Lake Winnipeg and Churchill and Nelson Rivers Impact Study

· University of Manitoba contract for the Physical Impact Study of planned hydroelectric projects in northern Manitoba. I conducted geomorphological surveys, and supervised vegetation surveys of sites along the shorelines of the major lakes of the Churchill and Nelson Rivers, and did airphoto analysis to create a map inventory of shoreline characteristics.
