SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES.

  • Conducted SOO drill activities in Galveston and CC Bay for emergency response preparation in accidental oil spill event;
  • Developed mobile monitoring system for real-time acquisition and visualization of oceanographic data measured by various submersible sensors on an undulating tow-body deployed behind research vessel
  •  Formulated  three dimensional particle aggregation and transport model to predict particle-mediated  contaminants movement in the water column;
  • Developed and maintained environmental database for data collected from various platforms at Hudson River (NY), Corpus Christi Bay (TX) and its offshore area using relational database management system
  • Implemented cyber infrastructure for the dissemination of real-time environmental data  to the broader user communities through Beacon institute’s web portal
