Identifying lake water quality trends and effective monitoring strategies in a rapidly urbanizing region
(2022-12-08)Water quality degradation in freshwater lakes is widely observed and largely attributed to human activities, particularly in urban regions. The city of Halifax, NS, is among the fastest growing urban centers in Canada, ... -
Impacts of Bubbles on Optical Estimates of Calcium Carbonate in the Great Calcite Belt
(2014-04-04)In this MSc thesis I determine if wind-generated bubbles elevated measurements of above-water normalized water-leaving radiance (nLw) and subsequent remote sensing estimates of particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) in a ... -
MAPPING WETLANDS IN NOVA SCOTIA WITH MULTI-BEAM RADARSAT-2 POLARIMETRIC SAR, OPTICAL SATELLITE IMAGERY, AND ELEVATION DATA
(2016-05-04)Nova Scotia introduced a new wetland policy in 2011 which included a goal to have no net loss of wetlands. In order to meet this goal, the Nova Scotia government has committed to updating the provincial wetland inventory. ... -
Non-Cooperative Vessel Detection Using Multispectral Satellite Imaging and Machine Learning Applied Towards Onboard Satellite Dark Vessel Detection
(2024-04-30)Dark vessels are a major source of economic and environmental damage, estimated to cost the global economy tens of billions (USD) a year. These vessels hide or obscure their presence on the ocean to conduct unlawful ... -
UAV ANALYSIS OF RIVER HABITAT FOR ATLANTIC SALMON CONSERVATION
(2020-12-17)Species distribution models (SDM) use presence data and environmental layers to predict spatial distribution of species. SDM could be used to denote important habitat for river restoration of endangered species such as ... -
Understanding subsurface patterns of suspended sediment in tidal seas through satellite imagery, South Korea
(2023-01-06)Banded patterns in remotely sensed reflectance can correlate with bathymetry in macrotidal seas. Over ridges, reflectance is higher, and over adjacent channels it is lower. This may be due to faster current speeds at ...
