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.
