Research Interests
My research focuses on identifying and mapping vulnerable coastal forests, particularly freshwater forests at risk from saltwater intrusion. My work not only assesses current vulnerabilities but also explores strategies to enhance the resilience of coastal forests against rising sea levels and increased flooding. To support this work, I use SAR imagery and study and locate man-made river obstructions to identify areas at risk of saltwater encroachment.
