About
I am an Earth scientist studying the impacts of global and local changes on coasts, estuaries and rivers. Human activity and biodiversity are typically high along coasts and rivers, but are threatened by sea level rise, increasing climate extremes, and human environmental impacts. Living just a few meters above sea level, I am highly motivated to contribute to science-based solutions to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of global and local changes on coastal and riverine lowlands. I study how these dynamic landscapes form and evolve through interactions between changing sea level, storms, tides and waves, erosion and sedimentation, vegetation dynamics & human activities.
