Research interests

I am interested in broad-scale land cover and land use change due to anthropogenic activity. My goal is to improve our current understanding of how socio-economic drivers change our landscape and how these changes affect biodiversity. I want to apply that knowledge to improve land use management and support conservation efforts.

Featured Research

After the fall: Land cover mapping in the Caucasus

Personal interests

In my free time I enjoy rock climbing with my friends and throwing pottery.
