Activities
Developing earth observation solutions for analysing and monitoring spatio-temporal changes in the dynamics of the Large Marine Ecosystems surrounding southern Africa. My
research activities include the investigation of physical drivers that
contribute to meso and large scale variability in the southern Benguela Current
Large Marine Ecosystem and the Agulhas Current in support of sustainable
exploitation and management of these marine ecosystems. It is a complex oceanic region influenced by
coastal upwelling processes typical of the Benguela Upwelling System, as well
as shelf-edge dynamic upwelling resulting from the variable presence of the
Agulhas Current. Although I also have
experience in acquiring and analysing ship-based physical and chemical data
during research expeditions, I am currently employed as an Earth Observation
Specialist in the Marine Section of the Earth Observation Group at the Council
for Scientific and Industrial Research.
