APBI 423 - Term Paper:
The goal of this assignment was to write a short and engaging summary article on an interesting ecological restoration project. I chose to investigate the impacts of large-scale dam removal for the Elwha River Restoration Project, WA, USA.
APBI 495 - Term Project
For my final project in this course, my colleagues and I had the opportunity to work with the Stanley Park Ecology Society Coexisting with Coyotes Program. We created a survey to gauge public perceptions and priorities on urban coyotes in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, with the goal of obtaining recent public opinion data that can be used to inform program directives as well as urban wildlife conservation management strategies.
BIOL 406 - Term Project:
While fire can be perceived as an unwanted event, it can be used as an ecological service for ecosystems that depend on fire cycles. Oak savannas would be considered one of these ecosystems as they thrive and benefit from burnings. For my final project, my colleagues and I wanted to investigate whether prescribed burning influences biodiversity within the Cedar Creek oak savanna. We performed all our data manipulation and statistical analysis using Rstudio software.
EOSC 410 - Term Project:
The capstone assignment for this data science course involved investigating a research question using publicly available data and analyzing this data in Python using the skills we learned throughout the term.
FNIS 220 - Term Paper:
The goal of this research essay was to explore one of the creative texts discussed in the FNIS 220 class more deeply while providing experience in academic research in the field of Indigenous representation.
ENVR 420 - Lab Assignment:
In this project, I used hydrological and land-cover data from a watershed in Oregon, USA, to evaluate how patterns of hydrological partitioning are influencing catchment scale evapotranspiration. Data was collected from the MOPEX dataset online, processed and analyzed in R-Studio.
ENVR 420 - Lab Assignment:
The purpose of this report was to compare the different methods for measuring daily evapotranspiration in a watershed near Campbell River, BC. Hourly streamflow, groundwater level, evapotranspiration, precipitation, and temperature data were collected and then later processed using R programming software.
GEOB 448A - Research Project
For my directed studies, supervised by Dr. Marwan Hassan (UBC Geography), I was tasked with identifying major tributaries in the Fraser Basin which are contributing sediment to the Fraser River main stem. I used ArcGIS to delineate the Fraser stream network and associated watershed boundaries, then identified tributaries that flow into large water bodies (i.e. lakes, reservoirs) which are acting as sediment sinks.
GEOB 406 - Term Project:
This course gave me the unique opportunity to do a research project using data collected for an ongoing project in the Department of Geographical Sciences. I was tasked with performing my own analysis and writing a full scientific report on my findings.
GEOB 309 - Term Paper:
This capstone assignment required my colleague and I did a report on a specific topic in EIA. My colleague and I decided to take a critical approach in examining the role of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in the EIA process, as it relates to the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Project, NWT, Canada.
