    I aid in the acquisition, processing and modelling of airborne LiDAR for catchments and coasts throughout Aotearoa New Zealand; from the mountains to the sea.

    My background is in environmental science, with a particular love for coastal and lower catchment geomorphology.

  • My Masters research involved the development of neural networks (CNNs and ANNs) to assess near daily satellite imagery of lagoons along the Canterbury Bight.

    The project aimed to improve monitoring capabilities and shed light on coastal lagoon dynamics.

    I also completed a BSc in Geography and Environmental Science at the University of Canterbury, with particularly emphasis on geomorphology, alpine environments, waterway restoration and community wellbeing.
