Projects Completed:
Young, R.A. 2003. Recent and long-term sedimentation and erosion along the Genesee
River floodplain in Livingston and Monroe Counties, NY. Funded by the US
Army Corps of Engineers. pp. 1-40
The project involved field collecting by Jeffrey Mortier and me, performing stream-based digital imagery, GPS surveying, and laser channel measurements of the Genesee River from Mount Morris to Rochester, NY. The project also involved rectifying and converting aerial photographs of the Genesee River into ArcGIS 8 map formats. The river location was traced and erosion rates were then determined. Refer to acknowledgement on page 33.
