Mike Tilston, M.Sc.

Mr. Tilston applies his knowledge of fluvial forms and processes to watershed, sub-watershed and micro-scale studies. Prior to his appointment, he was primarily involved in research-oriented academic studies related to three-dimensional flow structures, turbulence distributions and bank erosion along meander loops. Additional research projects that he has collaborated on include visualization techniques for large scale turbulent structures, assessments of different flow deflector configurations on maintaining scour pools and the impacts of visual isolation on fish population densities. Since arriving at PARISH Geomorphic Ltd., his work has recently been focused on performing detailed channel designs and watershed characterization/sensitivity using GIS software, although he has also been directly involved in developing new analysis tools/techniques, characterizing watersheds and optimizing field sampling strategies through statistical analysis, performing erosion assessments and identifying suitable placements for hydraulic structures.
