Position

Assistant Professor, Department of Geosciences

Education

PhD. - University of Calgary, Canada
MSc. - University of Calgary, Canada
BSc. - University of Regina, Canada

Research

Dr. Delparte has an extensive background in the applications of GIS and remote sensing to the fields of geosciences, resource management and conservation/environmental planning. Dr. Delparte's current research focus relates to visualization, 3D modeling and analysis. She is using 3D platforms to visualize her research work with photogrammetry, Structure from Motion (SfM), LiDAR and point-cloud generation from gaming devices. Specific research applications relate to avalanche flow modeling and hazard mapping, terrain models, land cover change, precision agriculture and image analysis.Her professional experience also extends to government and industry sectors.
