Research Interests
I use satellite remote sensing, in situ observations and coupled models to study lakes and coastal water quality. My work addresses ecosystem change, climate change impacts, lake restoration and harmful algal blooms.
My aspiration is to develop an operational and accurate satellite monitoring system for lake water quality for all of New Zealand.
