Walker Environmental Research, LLC combines modern data science tools and techniques with traditional engineering methods to help people better understand and manage environmental and water resources systems.
We specialize in hydrologic and water quality data collection, management, analysis, modeling, and visualization.
Developed statistical models and a dynamic web application for generating daily boating advisories based on whether predicted bacteria levels are expected to exceed state water quality standards.
Developed groundwater and water distribution system models to simulate the transport of NDMA and TCE from deep aquifer contamination sources to water supply wells and then across the water distribution system of the town of Wilmington. Results were used as part of the MA DPH Wilmington Cancer Study.
Developed a web-based system for acquiring, storing, and viewing underwater videos of river herring passage on the Mystic River. The website allows members of the general public to actively participate in annual fish counts of the river herring migration.
A web-based interactive GIS application for exploring environmental model output and geospatial datasets at multiple spatial scales.
Web-based geospatial database and modeling system for stream temperature and fish habitat to support better resource management.
