Quantification of Spatial Change in Natural Areas Within the Niagara Peninsula
Hailey Gullett -> Project Manager
Miss Gullett is the project manager for this project. Hailey holds a diploma in General Arts in Science from Niagara College, and since then has been studying Earth Sciences at Brock University. Currently she is a candidate in the GIS-GM postgraduate program at Niagara College.
In her fifth year of postsecondary education, Hailey will combine her academic and practical experience to complete this project on time and at an extremely high quality. Her work experience and background within the NPCA will be extremely beneficial throughout this project as she is incredibly familiar with the organizations goals and policies.
Hailey will undertake the role of GIS Specialist for the duration of the Project. Hailey will be influential in every phase from initiation to completion.
AML Spatial Solutions was established in September 2013 as a GIS consulting and solutions firm. With the skills and experience of its two founding partners, Hailey Gullet and Andrew Lipinski, AML spatial solutions seeks to undertake a client-based thesis project required in order to fulfill the Niagara College GIS-GM postgraduate curriculum. The team focuses on geospatial skills which includes the use of various mapping and analysis software used extensively in the geography discipline. The team also retains the consultancy services of Xinxia Jiang (Phd.) as an external project advisor

Andrew Lipinski -> GIS Analyst
Mr. Lipinski is currently a candidate in the GIS-GM postgraduate program at Niagara College Canada and holds an Honors BSc. in Physical geography (Brock University, 2011) and an Environmental Technician Diploma (Niagara College Canada, 2006).
With Over 7 Years of educational experience, Andrew has been involved in many projects within the academic community which will undoubtedly aid in the execution and completion of the spatial inventory. Perhaps the most comparable project that Andrew has been involved with is the completion of an internship as a requirement for obtaining his BSc.
Under the supervision of Dr. Tony B. Shaw of Brock universities Geography faculty Andrew completed a spatial analysis using Esri’s ArcMap software outlining the location of potential vineyards in Norfolk and Haldimand County in Southern Ontario. While conducting this year long internship for Dr. Shaw Andrew was able to drastically improve his ability to use Esri Software, principally ArcMAP. Andrew also has a practical knowledge in VB programming, database design, Surveying with GPS and Total Stations and is proficient with ArcGIS 10.1, MapInfo and ERDAS.
Andrew will undertake the role of GIS Specialist for the duration of the Project. Andrew will be influential in every phase from initiation to completion.
