  Two New Techniques for Evaluating Connectivity of Septic Fields to Great Lake Watersheds and Embayments

  Oblique Imagery was used to assess 250 depressional features within the carbonate bedrock region of Genesee County

  NY and surrounding areas. Of these features

  110 were confirmed to be sinkholes. The analysis of Pictometry Oblique Imagery

  with images spanning the past 15 years

  was performed to sample each individual sinkhole for each available time-step image. Parameters were created using GIS-based data and imagery characteristics

  and statistically analyzed for confirmed sinkholes to assess similarities and differences between the sinkholes. A cluster analysis showed that there is a relationship between sinkholes and a variety of GIS data types. These statistically derived associations suggest that the following factors are indicative of sinkholes: Visible Depression

  Secondary Characteristics

  Target Soil Presence/Absence

  Moisture Content

  Land Use

  Type (water/land)

  Size

  and Shape. The study suggested that distance from visible escarpments and bedrock geology

  two guidelines for finding karst features suggested by previous studies

  were not statistically correlated to sinkholes in Genesee County and surrounding areas.

  Graduate Student Researcher

  The Research Foundation for SUNY

  I was a researcher in the Imaging Science department at RIT

  in the DIRS Lab. \n\nConducted research for the LandSat Data Continuity Mission prior to the launch of LandSat 8. Final product resulted in development of a Thermal Infrared Sensor Split Window Algorithm to determine land surface temperatures using computational modelling in IDL/ENVI. Additional projects included POLDER reflectivity & buoy temperature comparative analysis. \n\nI worked here during the summer months only.
