Sustainable Development of Urban Water Resources

This research studies the efficacy of low impact development options such as permeable pavements and bioretention cells in Canadian climates in order to provide the best possible designs and prediction models. The research program includes the HAL Project and the Bioretention Cell Detoxification Research Project. The research is conducted in collaboration with Dr. Angus Chu and Dr. Jianxun He at the University of Calgary (UofC) and Dr. Rishi Gupta and Dr. Rustom Bhiladvala at the University of Victoria (UVic). The Urban Water Resources Archives page contains data and information on previous projects in sustainable urban development. 

Well Water, River, and Nearshore Water Quality Modelling

This research is conducted in collaboration with Dr. Usman Khan, Dr. Jennifer He, Dr. Angus Chu, Dr. Cathryn Ryan (UofC), Dr. Norman Neumann (UofA) and Dr. Sylvia Checkley (UofC). My collaborators and I develop modelling and monitoring programs that provide insight into the impacts of pollutants on rivers and nearshore areas as well as environmental influences on well water contamination.  Study sites include the Bow River and the Elbow River in southern Alberta, well water throughout Alberta as well as nearshore areas within the Capital Regional District of Victoria. The Urban Water Resources Archives page contains data and information on previous projects in water quality modelling.
