Mastering Mangroves:
A Milestone Achieved!
I earned my Master’s degree in Geography and Geospatial Science from Oregon State University in December 2024. My thesis, titled “In the Grove of Mangroves: Expanding Google Earth Engine Applications for Meticulous Mangrove Mapping,” focuses on leveraging Google Earth Engine (GEE) to improve the monitoring and mapping of mangrove ecosystems.
Key highlights:
My research identifies challenges in current methodologies and proposes innovative, multi-model approaches to produce improved mangrove maps.
A case study in Bangladesh incorporates pixel-level quantification of model consensus, addressing stakeholder demands for more precise and uncertainty-aware mapping.
