<br />William “Quin” Robertson, PhD, GISP
<br />QA/QC Manager
<br />Professional Qualifications
<br />Quin Robertson, PhD has more than 15 years of experience
<br />conducting scientific research and managing coastal projects. Since
<br />joining CB&I in 2007, Dr. Robertson has participated and managed
<br />several engineering, geologic, biologic, and geodetic projects in the
<br />Gulf of Mexico and US East Coast. Dr. Robertson uses the skills that he
<br />developed during his studies to create high resolution DEMs utilizing
<br />voluminous data sets, quantify and predict morphologic change, and
<br />identify sediment sources and benthic habitats for CB&I.
<br />Relevant Project Experience
<br />Project Manager, Shorehaven FEMA Flood Zone Study, Bronx, New
<br />York
<br />Dr. Robertson was Project Manager for a study determining FEMA
<br />flood zone mapping in Bronx, NY. The net direction of tidal flow past
<br />the property is from the Long Island Sound toward New York Harbor.
<br />The proximity of the property to the East River and its potential risk of
<br />flooding from storm surge have led FEMA to designate the property a
<br />"V" zone.
<br />Project Manager, Gulf of Mexico and Florida LiDAR Elevation Change
<br />Analysis, US Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) Joint Airborne LiDAR
<br />Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise
<br />Dr. Robertson was Project Manager for a volume change
<br />quantification project using LiDAR data. USACE's Joint Airborne LiDAR
<br />Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) selected CB&I to
<br />quantify volume change from multiple LiDAR data sets on the Gulf of
<br />Mexico and east Florida coastline. Final products included all
<br />quantified changes along with large format plots displaying the
<br />change for the studied time period.
<br />Project Manager, Benthic Habitat Mapping, Marquesas, Florida
<br />Dr. Robertson was Project Manager of a benthic habitat mapping
<br />project interpreted from satellite imagery in the Marquesas and
<br />Quicksands area offshore of the Florida Keys. CB&I mapped more
<br />than 1,300 km² of benthic habitats that are essential for developing
<br />management strategies that balance the protection of these habitats
<br />with their use. Habitats were mapped using “heads‐up” digitizing on
<br />a large format Smart Board displaying pan‐sharpened color IKONOS
<br />satellite imagery by identifying color and texture patterns that were
<br />confirmed in the field using GPS‐linked drop and dive supported
<br />cameras. Map interpretations were based on NOAA’s classification
<br />scheme for mapping shallow‐water coral ecosystems of southern
<br />Florida. Deliverables included digital benthic habitat maps, metadata,
