Current Research
My research interests fall at the intersection of remote sensing, climate adaptation, and political geography. For my dissertation, I plan to employ a multimethod approach to explore how cyclones that are increasing in frequency and intensity with climate change, natural gas and mineral development by multinational corporations, and an ongoing civil war impact agricultural resource use in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique.
