• Research Activities Summary

  • Participated in hydrogeological and geophysical surveys using GIS and remote sensing tools to assess groundwater potential and support resource management in coastal and arid regions.
  • Conducted environmental impact assessments (EIA) focusing on marine and coastal ecosystems, contributing to habitat restoration and pollution mitigation strategies along Kenya’s coast in the Western Indian Ocean.
  • Supported marine geological investigations through field mapping, sediment sampling, and analysis of lithological structures, contributing to a better understanding of depositional environments and coastal dynamics.
  • Applied geophysical techniques in infrastructure and quarry site investigations, including seismic and subsurface profiling, linking land-based geological structures to nearshore marine processes.
  • Provided research assistance in projects addressing the interaction between geological substrates and marine ecosystems, supporting integrated coastal zone management.
  • Assisted in marine-focused GIS projects, including creation of groundwater potential maps, coastal vulnerability assessments, and environmental monitoring in support of sustainable blue economy initiatives.

English

I am a Geoscientist based in Mombasa, Kenya, with a growing specialization in marine geoscience, environmental assessment, and geospatial technologies. My professional journey spans hydrogeological mapping, marine ecosystem assessments, and the application of GIS and remote sensing tools for coastal and groundwater resource analysis.

With hands-on experience working on the Kenyan coast, I have contributed to marine environmental impact assessments and restoration strategies aimed at minimizing human-induced damage to coastal and aquatic ecosystems. I bring a strong understanding of geological and geophysical processes affecting the Western Indian Ocean region and a keen interest in supporting sustainable blue economy practices.

My work aligns with promoting marine science, coastal resilience, and ocean literacy in the region. I am particularly interested in collaborative opportunities that integrate marine geology with conservation planning, climate adaptation, and marine spatial planning.

I am open to regional research and networking opportunities that support knowledge exchange and sustainable development.
