Research

Understanding the effect of anthropogenic changes, including climate and land cover, on the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems is needed to promote effective conservation planning.  My research focuses on evaluating the effect of environmental changes, on biodiversity and ecosystems, through the lens of spatial analysis, remote sensing. landscape ecology, and ecoacoustics. My research has led to the development of supporting technology and datasets. Moreover, my work contributes to the One-Health framework, which recognizes that a healthy environment is needed to promote healthy humans.

 My main research areas include developing and applying models to evaluate environmental change, including changes in vegetation productivity and land-use land-cover charge, and modeling and assessing biodiversity and ecosystem services, particularly climate regulation (REDD) and health provisioning services.
