Current research:
Dr. Gaskin's research is in the general area of environmental fluid mechanics and water resources management. Specifically looking at topics in experimental fluid mechanics: modeling of jets and plumes, river engineering, sediment transport in surface waters, and in water resources management: sustainable water supply management and basin-wide hydrologic modeling.
Professor Gaskin joined 捆绑SM社区 in 1997, adding to the environmental engineering expertise in the Department. Environmental hydraulics and water resources is her specialty. Her teaching includes open channel flow, hydraulics, river engineering, and water sustainability. Her research is in the general area of environmental fluid mechanics and water resources management. Specifically looking at topics in experimental fluid mechanics: modeling of jets and plumes, river engineering, sediment transport in surface waters, and in water resources management: sustainable water supply management and basin-wide hydrologic modeling.
Areas of interest:
Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency
- Experimental environmental hydraulics: effect of ambient turbulence on turbulent jets, shallow flow mixing.
- Experimental investigations using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and particle image velocity (PIV)
- Numerical and physical modelling of hydraulic structures
- Habitat restoration and sediment transport and cohesive sediment erosion in rivers
- Water resources: sustainable water supply management
- Potable water quality and ecotoxicology
- Funding from NSERC, FQRNT, CFI and, municipal and industrial collaborators
