Research Interests
In my current work, I take a New Zealand-wide approach to map water quality of over 3800 lakes using satellite remote sensing. I am contributing to the development of the geospatial information platform Takiwa Lakes which will allows the display of observational data and model results for use by managers, regulators and other stakeholders.
