Seabirds, Fisheries, and Climate Change in the Bay of Fundy

One of the biggest challenges of understanding the marine environment is that most species spend virtually all of their time underwater where they are difficult to count and monitor. Seabirds, as a top marine predator that feed on small forage fish, many of which are important to fisheries (e.g., herring), provide an alternative to underwater […]

Using machine learning to identify and contextualize residential rainwater downspouts and guide stormwater outreach programming

Municipalities are seeking ways to reduce the effects of uncontrolled rainwater and one of the primary contributors to the problem is residential downspouts. Downspout disconnections and redirections are low-cost ways to reduce the overall imperviousness of urban and suburban landscapes and ameliorate stormwater issues. This project will use machine learning to analyze Google street view […]

Large deformation finite element analysis of as-laid offshore pipelines using Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian approach for dynamic embedment and lateral displacement

Subsea pipelines playa significant role in transportation of hydrocarbon. In deep water trenching is difficult and therefore pipelines are often laid on the seabed. However, these pipelines could be penetrated into the seabed a fraction of its diameter during installation. Pipelines might experience thermal expansion due to low ambient and high internal temperature during operation […]
