Biography
My research focuses on desertification and land degradation, desertification risk assessment, early warning systems, assessment and monitoring; I use remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) of desertification to assess land degradation and desertification. My investigation seeks to enhance risk analysis by developing an understanding and increasing the accuracy of desertification susceptibility mapping to implement and prevent desertification and land degradation.
