Senior Lecturer in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Research Interests:

- Climate Change & Extreme Events
Research Highlights:
- Developed the first global long term satellite observed soil moisture record by a unique merging approach, which resulted in a series of highly cited journal papers and represents the premier soil moisture dataset used in the hydrological community.
- Developed a new technique to map changes in the amount of carbon stored in living plant mass (or "biomass") above the ground over the last four decades, by merging vegetation information from several passive microwave satellites. This allowed us to track global changes in biomass from month to month in response to natural, climate related and human activities, something that was not possible before. This work leads to a series of papers in Nature family journals.
