My research interests look at the earth observations of modern sedimentary environments to undertand its impact on ecosystems, human livlihoods and the preserved stratigraphic record. A few topics of interests include

1. Source-to-sink 
2. Plastic pollution
3. Coastal Change
4. Water resources
5. Education
