Restoration Ecology and Earth Surface Processes Group
We study how degraded ecosystems change, why they degrade, and how ecological restoration can be assessed and improved.
Our research integrates field surveys, remote sensing, UAV monitoring, GIS analysis, and ecological modelling to understand vegetation dynamics, soil-water processes, biodiversity patterns, and restoration outcomes.
Research Areas
Degraded Land and Ecological Restoration
We investigate degradation processes, restoration trajectories, and management windows in degraded ecosystems.
Soil-Water Processes and Salinity Dynamics
We examine how hydrology, micro-topography, groundwater, and soil salinity influence vegetation patterns and restoration outcomes.
Remote Sensing, UAV, and Spatial Analysis
We use satellite imagery, UAV data, and GIS tools to monitor ecosystem change across multiple spatial and temporal scales.
Biodiversity and Restoration Assessment
We assess plant communities, soil fauna, and habitat conditions to evaluate ecological restoration effects.
Join Us
We welcome motivated undergraduate and graduate students interested in restoration ecology, remote sensing, UAV monitoring, GIS, soil-water processes, and biodiversity assessment.
