I'm Cindy How and you've stumbled onto my little corner of the internet. I've put a little information on myself (personal, academic, and professional), as well as a few pictures and some links. I hope you enjoy my homepage.

Though born in Canada, my family and I moved to Hawaii when I was quite young and it's Hawaii I consider my home. The picture on the left even shows a view from my family's home.

For a couple of interesting Hawaii links, see:

Hawaiicam (Lovely photos!) and
Ernie's Learn to Speak a Little Hawaiian

For some more of my own pictures of Hawaii, see my Hawaii Photo Album. This includes some pictures of my family.

I attended Tulane University, in New Orleans, Louisiana, graduating in May 1996 with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree, majoring in Environmental Engineering.

To see some pictures of New Orleans, view my New Orleans Photo Album.

While at Tulane, I did a Junior Year Abroad at The University of Birmingham in Birmingham, England. While abroad, I traveled to France, Ireland, The Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden.

See some of the pictures from my year abroad in my JYA Photo Album.

I received my Master's Degree in Engineering in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in May, 1998. I was a student in the Environmental and Water Resources Engineering Program while attending UT Austin.

My Master's Thesis was on Fugitive Emissions of VOCs from Industrial Sewer Networks: Integration of naUTilus and ArcView and can be accessed as an online report in PDF format.

Other documents related to my thesis are user documents for the naUTilus/ArcView interface and a slide presentation given at the EWRE seminar in February, 1998:

• Using naUTilus from ArcView
• Using ArcView as an Interface for naUTilus (Exercise)
• Slide Presentation: Fugitive Emissions of VOCs from Industrial Sewer Networks, Integration of naUTilus and ArcView.

My research advisors were Dr. David Maidment and Dr. Richard Corsi.Other projects I worked on as a graduate student include:

• Atmospheric Water Balance (as a term project for CE394K, Surface Water Hydrology)
• Environmental Justice: Incorporating Risk into a Hazard Index Value (as a term project for CE397, Environmental Risk Assessment)
