Research Associate
I am a postdoc working on quantifying and predicting tropical forest disturbance levels, in particular in the context of assessing carbon permanence in REDD+ projects. To do that, I am using remote sensing data that track forest cover changes in tropical moist forests to quantify the observed rates of annual carbon loss associated with forest degradation and deforestation, and to generate baseline future estimates of carbon release risks in REDD+ projects. I also aim to put my PhD experience in forest dynamics modelling to good use by developing models that assess what factors drive forest degradation (fire, drought, selective logging, edge effect, etc.) and the consequences of interaction between these factors. My hobbies include hiking, cycling, language learning, photography and plant identification.
