Current Work:
As a Postdoctoral Research Associate at University of Massachusetts, I work with a team of UMass scientists, and marsh scientists and practitioners statewide, to optimize the monitoring of the state’s salt marshes and evaluate restoration project efficacy.
I use satellite remote sensing and aerial imagery, paired with environmental monitoring and field data, to identify physical trends, change points, and tipping points.
