My Masters Thesis research paper has been finally published in Elsevier's Ecological Indicators Journal. In this paper, I have proposed a methodology that can assess habitat changes from implementation of Nature-based solutions. The methodology translates CORINE land cover classes to EUNIS habitat classes. Based on the concept, I developed an ArcGIS toolbox that generates habitat change images as results. I applied the toolbox to Denmark and the Netherlands. I have compared the results to change in local bird population to demonstrate the effects of Nbs in their population.

Excited to share the newly edited book ! 📚 “Aquatic Ecosystems Monitoring: Conventional Assessment to Advanced Remote Sensing” to be published by CRC Press Taylor & Francis Group, Boca Raton USA. This comprehensive book explores traditional and modern applications of remote sensing in monitoring aquatic ecosystems. It dives deep into conventional methods like sampling, surveying, and chlorophyll estimation, alongside advanced techniques such as machine learning, multi-source data analysis, and Earth observation technologies. The book covers diverse ecosystems, including wetlands, rivers, lakes, and even coral reefs—offering valuable insights into water quality monitoring, shoreline changes, and sustainable ecosystem management. For professionals in environmental science, remote sensing, and geology, this is a must-read for understanding the latest challenges and opportunities in aquatic ecosystem monitoring. Targeting #SDG6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and #SDG14 (Life Below Water), the book aims to support the sustainable management of aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Collaborative work with collaborators: Shiv Nadar University, Banaras Hindu University (BHU) and the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia. https://lnkd.in/g8rrdzkU #AquaticEcosystem #RemoteSensing #EnvironmentalScience #GeospatialTech #WaterQuality #EcosystemMonitoring #MachineLearning #Sustainability #BHU #USC #CollaborativeResearch #EarthObservation #CoralReefs #ChlorophyllEstimation #AquaticHealth #EnvironmentalPolicy #RemoteSensing #AquaticEcosystems #EnvironmentalMonitoring #GeospatialData #MachineLearning #SDG6 #SDG14 #EcosystemManagement #Sustainability #WaterQuality #CoralReefs #Biodiversity #ResearchCollaboration #BHU #USCAustralia

I just would like to thank and promote this very nice book with Dr. Bhavik Bakshi as editor. Me and my Group (Grupo EngS - Engenharia da Sustentabilidade ) we are happy to explore more about the current challenges on #engineering and #ecosystems. Ont this book you will: -Explore methods to account for ecosystem goods and services in sustainability assessment and engineering design -Find a systematic framework for seeking synergies between technological and ecological systems -Learn convergence between engineering, environmental science, ecology, and economics You can find this book here: https://lnkd.in/e7stFNUt

Please check out our new article in Science of the Total Environment (STOTEN) explores the potential of remote sensing for blue carbon in Asia-Pacific Article link: https://lnkd.in/eZ5Fmwy5 Without Pavithra Pitumpe Arachchige and Mikey Mohan this research would not have been possible, and they also brought us all together to contribute towards this insightful manuscript.

Our paper published in Elsevier "Jurnal Science of The Total Environment" is out. The title is Mangrove ecosystems in Southeast Asia region: Mangrove extent, blue carbon potential and CO2 emissions in 1996–2020. In this paper, aimed to analyze mangrove extent (ME), carbon stock, blue carbon potential, and CO2 emission from 1996 to 2020 in Southeast Asia region. The data was obtained through the Global Mangrove Alliance (GMA) on the platform https://lnkd.in/geF8gj8F v.3. Furthermore, me was analyzed descriptively and the triggers for mangrove land changes in each country were investigated through a relevant literature review. The spatial analysis was conducted for blue carbon potential, while CO2 emission was derived by multiplying net change by emission factor (EF) of mangrove ecosystem.

Excited to share my latest publication in the European Journal of Soil Science! We explored how conservation tillage methods, like no-till (NT), impact soil water storage (SWS), yield, and water use efficiency (WUE) in dryland winter wheat. Key findings: ✨ NT increased PSE by 32.9%, SWS by 27.1%, and yield by 30.5%. ✨ Combining NT with mulching supercharged results, improving water efficiency by 42.9%! ✨ However, cover crops reduced yield and water storage. Our research proves that smart tillage and residue management can boost sustainability and productivity. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gbP-gnnR

ALHAMDULILLAH ♥ Our research paper, "Land Use and Land Cover Changes Driven by the Indus River Dynamics (1972-2022)," has been published in the International Journal of Innovations in Science & Technology as part of the 18th International Geographical Conference on Climate Change, Sustainability, and Resilience. I am grateful to my co-authors Junaid Ullah Khan Aman Bangash , Abu Bakkar, and Dr Ihsanullah Khattak. This Paper explores the significant shifts in the Indus River over the last five decades and their impact on land use and land cover. Our study utilizes advanced Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) techniques to analyze changes and offer new insights into flood management and land use planning. Key findings highlight the socio-economic stress caused by these changes, including increased settlement areas, decreased vegetation, and significant internal migration. Our research underscores the importance of using GIS and RS for informed decision-making in environmental management. 🔗 [Read the Full Paper Here] https://lnkd.in/d6CrHWMb

🎉 Very happy with our recent contribution to the special issue 'Geographies of Missions' in Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions! In "Tipping the scales of the blue transition: Framing the geography of a Norwegian seafood mission", Koen Frenken, Laura Piscicelli, Taneli Vaskelainen, and I study how scale is framed by actors in the issue field of a Norwegian seafood mission. The case highlights that environmental problems do not fit the jurisdictional boundaries of policy and thus induce negotiation over the geography of missions. We show that scale constitutes a crucial discursive strategy used by actors to secure their interests in the mission discourse and that attempts to depoliticize this discussion through science-based policy remain contested due to the constructed nature of scale.

I am excited to share that I have co-authored a chapter in the forthcoming edition of "Encyclopedia of soils in the environment". 📘✨ In this chapter "Sorption | Oxyanions," we delve into the critical role of oxyanions in the environment. These compounds, while essential as nutrients, can pose risks when their levels surpass ecological thresholds. This chapter emphasizes the importance of understanding how oxyanions interact with soil components to predict their mobility and environmental impact accurately. Looking forward to the chapter's release!
