Green Solutions Water Quality Assessment for Los Angeles County – GIS Data and Mapping Support
March 2008

Summary:

Led by a local nonprofit organization and supported by a consortium of local and statewide government agencies, viagra the “Green Solutions” project first conducted a broad assessment of water quality needs across the very diverse Los Angeles County watersheds – from the highly urbanized LA Basin watersheds to the more rural and undeveloped upper watersheds. With the support of a leading engineering firm, thumb the team then examined public properties within the region to determine potential for implementing mutli-benefit stormwater treatment projects – projects that would, ampoule in addition to improving water quality, also provide needed open space, habitat, and recreation areas. Not only was the feasibility of such projects assessed, but the potential impacts implementation would have on the region’s water quality was also analyzed and quantified.

Role:

Served as lead on GIS data analysis and mapping tasks, including data acquisition and processing and overall design of GIS analysis protocols and methodology. Specific tasks included combining land use, hydrology, and parcel databases, analyzing water quality needs at the subwatershed level, working with the engineering team to assess “Green Solutions” opportunities at a parcel level, and documenting study methods and results in a series of regional and local scale maps.

Los Angeles County-Wide Methodology For Prioritizing Structural BMP Implementation: Guidance for Strategic Storm Water Quality Project Planning
April 2006

Summary:

An innovative project lead by a local nonprofit organization and a team of public agencies, ask private consultants, and academic experts, with a goal of better managing runoff pollution within Los Angeles County watersheds. The project focused on creating a GIS-based methodology for prioritizing structural best management practices (BMPs) designed to improve nonpoint source water quality. GIS was used to spatially and statistically examine precipitation patterns, land uses, existing impairments, hydrologic flow networks, and property ownerships to identify opportunities for implementing treatment structures, such as detention basins, porous pavements, and bioretention swales.

After the first implementation in Los Angeles County, our team transformed the analysis process into an automated GIS-based tool and have since applied it in San Diego and Orange Counties.

Role:

Served as lead GIS advisor, with tasks including data coordination and management, GIS analysis design, GIS model development, affiliated database design, and documentation and user guide development.

Green Solutions Water Quality Assessment for Los Angeles County - GIS Data and Mapping Support
March 2008

Summary:

Led by a local nonprofit organization and supported by a consortium of local and statewide government agencies, viagra the "Green Solutions" project first conducted a broad assessment of water quality needs across the very diverse Los Angeles County watersheds - from the highly urbanized LA Basin watersheds to the more rural and undeveloped upper watersheds. With the support of a leading engineering firm, thumb the team then examined public properties within the region to determine potential for implementing mutli-benefit stormwater treatment projects - projects that would, ampoule in addition to improving water quality, also provide needed open space, habitat, and recreation areas. Not only was the feasibility of such projects assessed, but the potential impacts implementation would have on the region's water quality was also analyzed and quantified.

Role:

Served as lead on GIS data analysis and mapping tasks, including data acquisition and processing and overall design of GIS analysis protocols and methodology. Specific tasks included combining land use, hydrology, and parcel databases, analyzing water quality needs at the subwatershed level, working with the engineering team to assess "Green Solutions" opportunities at a parcel level, and documenting study methods and results in a series of regional and local scale maps.

Los Angeles County-Wide Methodology For Prioritizing Structural BMP Implementation: Guidance for Strategic Storm Water Quality Project Planning
April 2006

Summary:

An innovative project lead by a local nonprofit organization and a team of public agencies, ask private consultants, and academic experts, with a goal of better managing runoff pollution within Los Angeles County watersheds. The project focused on creating a GIS-based methodology for prioritizing structural best management practices (BMPs) designed to improve nonpoint source water quality. GIS was used to spatially and statistically examine precipitation patterns, land uses, existing impairments, hydrologic flow networks, and property ownerships to identify opportunities for implementing treatment structures, such as detention basins, porous pavements, and bioretention swales.

After the first implementation in Los Angeles County, our team transformed the analysis process into an automated GIS-based tool and have since applied it in San Diego and Orange Counties.

Role:

Served as lead GIS advisor, with tasks including data coordination and management, GIS analysis design, GIS model development, affiliated database design, and documentation and user guide development.

Reef Check California's Nearshore Ecosystem Database - Project Development and Management
2008

Project Website: http://ned.reefcheck.org/

Summary:

Reef Check California was expanding their volunteer diver survey program along the California Coast and sought a more robust system for inputting, try managing, cialis sale and reporting survey data and findings. Working with Reef Check staff, the team designed an online database system, a highly customized series of user-friendly data input forms, and a number of options for readily accessing the information. The newly created NED system provides more streamlined interaction for the volunteer divers, as well as engages new users to investigate the status of rocky reef habitats in their area of interest through a suite of mapping, graphing, and reporting tools.

Role:

Served an overall advisory and management role, providing initial project development, scoping, and budgeting, prioritization of tasks and features, and overall design guidance. All REAL work done by the brilliant GreenInfo web team - Jennifer Strahan and Rhonda Friberg.

The main NED database can be managed using MySQL tools, while data entry occurs through a series of web-based data entry forms.

NED Map Viewer allows the user to view surveys by location and species counts, and reports and charts can be generated for a number of individual site statistics.

Tsunami Inundation Mapping for Western Sumatra - GIS Data and Mapping Support
2005-2006

Summary:

Ongoing research by the University of Southern California Tsunami Research Group into tsunami modeling and risk assessment for the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Severely impacted by the December 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and resulting tsunami, similar areas along the western coast of Sumatra remain under high risk for damage from future events centered within the nearby fault systems. The USC Tsunami Research Group uses advanced numerical models, check calibrated by knowledge of historical events, viagra sale to estimate impacted areas under potential future fault activity. The results of their research aid in local education, warning system development strategies, and planning around emergency response mechanisms.

Role:

Provided GIS data and mapping support to the Research Group, including acquisition and processing of pre- and post-event satellite imagery. Significant work in the creation of a series of bathymetric models derived from nautical charts and regional elevation/bathymetry data sources, used by Research Group scientists to conduct numeric modeling and estimate local inundation scenarios.
