STUDY DESIGN and INTERPRETATION

  • Experimental and mensurative studies
  • Categorical and quantitative data
  • Sample size, power, effect size analysis


DATA ANALYTICS

  • Consolidate information from databases
  • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping and spatial statistics 
  • Scripting using R programming, R markdown
  • QAQC and cleaning of complex data sets
  • Data summaries, frequencies of occurrence, and visualizations 
  • Community metrics (diversity, size-based indicators, biomass, abundance)


ADVANCED ANALYTICS

  • Mixed effects modelling
  • Hierarchical linear models (HML)
  • Boosted regression tree (BRT) analysis
  • Size spectrum modelling (normalized abundance size spectrum (NASS), normalized biomass size spectrum (NBSS), maximum likelihood estimation (MLE))
  • Loading calculations using stratified Beale ratio estimator, weighted regression on time, discharge, and season - Kalman filter (WRTDS-K), stratified event mean concentration (EMC)
  • Modelling censored data
  • Simulating discharge, hydrograph separation


PRESENTATIONS and REPORTS

  • Presenting complex data and findings to non-technical audiences
  • Communicating science to policy advisors
  • Literature review of primary research, reviews, and grey literature
  • Synthesize complex knowledge into guidance and plain language summaries 
  • Writing technical reports and peer-reviewed journal articles
