My research covers Urban and Environmental Dynamics, Vegetation Changes and Climate, Coastal and Riverine Ecosystems, utilizing geospatial techniques and remote sensing for sustainable development. (* first-authored publications)
Urban and Environmental Dynamics
This research theme focuses on the interactions between urbanization and environmental changes, examining how urban growth impacts and is influenced by ecological factors. The studies explore various aspects of urban environments, including tree canopy mapping, urban heat islands, spatiotemporal growth patterns, and sustainable urban practices. Through advanced geospatial and remote sensing techniques, these works aim to understand and mitigate the adverse effects of urbanization on the environment.

Vegetation Changes and Climate
This research theme focuses on examining the intricate relationship between vegetation dynamics and climatic factors using advanced geospatial techniques. The studies aim to understand how vegetation patterns change over time and the impact of these changes on the environment and climate adaptation strategies. Key areas of interest include deforestation, land use changes, and their implications for local and regional climates.

Coastal and Riverine Ecosystems
This research theme delves into the dynamic and complex interactions within coastal and riverine ecosystems. The studies focus on understanding the impacts of natural events and human activities on these ecosystems, including geomorphological changes, flood events, and rising sea levels. Using advanced geospatial technologies, these works aim to provide insights into ecosystem services, landscape dynamics, and effective management strategies for coastal and riverine areas.
