Advances in Shallow Water Bathymetry and Underwater Mapping Using Green LiDAR
The study investigates how green LiDAR can improve bathymetric mapping accuracy, seafloor classification, and underwater terrain modelling, particularly in complex coastal areas where traditional sonar or satellite methods may be limited.
Current Projects
Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Riverine Sediment Plumes in the Great Barrier Reef
This research explores the use of hyperspectral satellite data to monitor riverine sediment plumes entering the Great Barrier Reef lagoon. Increased sediment runoff from land-use change and extreme rainfall events can reduce water clarity, limit light availability for corals and seagrasses, and negatively affect reef ecosystems.
PMCRF: Probabilistic Multi-Modal Cold Reef Fusion
The PMCRF pipeline is a collaborative initiative focused on advancing marine conservation, environmental monitoring, and applied ocean research. The project brings together researchers and conservation practitioners to explore innovative approaches for understanding and protecting marine ecosystems.
2026 TNQ Drought Hub Scholarship
Awarded the 2026 Tropical North Queensland Drought Hub Scholarship to undertake a fully funded Master’s by Research at James Cook University.
This scholarship supports research that contributes to improved environmental management, resilience, and sustainable practices across northern Australia. My research focuses on marine conservation and the application of spatial and environmental analysis to better understand and protect coral reef ecosystems.
