Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of Coastal Studies, East Carolina University

Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of Coastal Studies, East Carolina University My research investigates coastal ecosystems in small island developing states, including the Maldives, with a focus on mangroves. I am particularly interested in examining the impacts of climate change on their health and carbon storage dynamics. By employing a multidisciplinary approach that combines remote sensing and sediment geochemistry, I aim to develop a deeper understanding of these critical ecosystems and how they may respond to climatic changes in the coming decades.
