Research Interests:

 

  • Combining field-based techniques with remote sensing to understand key mechanisms that drive productivity and carbon sequestration in coastal wetlands
  • Examining land cover changes (with specific interest in coastal environments) and its effects on regional and global climate through the utilization of field, remote sensing, and GIS techniques
  • Analyzing potential natural hazard risks such as flooding, sea level rise, etc. and developing solutions/preventative adaptations to current conditions
  • Conservation initiatives and their effects on ecosystem dynamics and productivity
