Research interests

My research focuses on how water, carbon, nutrients, and trace metals move across the land–ocean interface, with a particular interest in submarine groundwater discharge, subterranean estuaries, and coastal lagoons under climate extremes. I combine field monitoring and geochemical analysis with numerical, analytical, and reactive transport modelling.

Focus Areas

  • Land–ocean fluxes of water, carbon, and nutrients
  • Submarine groundwater discharge
  • Coastal hydrology and hydrogeology
  • Coastal lagoons and wetlands under climate extremes
  • Groundwater and reactive transport modelling
  • Data visualization and scientific mapmaking
