Thesis project:

Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the one-dimensional HEC-6 sediment transport model.  To provide more accuracy in predicting sediment transport after dam removal I will collect bedload and suspended sediment samples in the Milltown area to quantitatively analyze the modeled predictions in the Milltown Dam removal.  If the HEC-6 results from the Milltown study are shown to be inaccurate, qualitative analysis will identify the model limitations and or user assumptions that caused the model to fail.  The HEC-6 model will then be rerun along with other models to more accurately predict the measured sediment transport.  Findings will then be published so that more accurate predictions of sediment transport can be calculated after dam removal.
