#Fiji is more than just #BeachIslands. It's also #Highlands.
Exactly a year ago, I began a #13days #GeoScience #trek through the #mountains of #Nadarivatu and #Ba starting at the #headwaters to study #rivers and #rocks. I worked with #villages and @ItaukeiAffairs @UNDP_Pacific
How the carbon footprint of air travel to UN climate conferences has increased 25-fold over three decades - emissions totalled 710,282 tonnes of CO2e-

Recently presented our work on bridging environmental science into #EarthObservation and space technology at #IGARSS2026 in Washington DC and our visit to the #NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Will use this learning experience to incorporate new satellite sensors into our work.

Work and studies have gotten particularly these past years… It can be good to take a few days away from work to do your own projects. This was a mini carpentry project I did over a couple days recently to protect our storage from condensation and mold.

Upcoming #riparian #vegetation and #fluvial #geomorphology field survey coming up this October. Will be documenting the four day Fiji highland rivers trek for #ForestInventories, #biodiversity and #erosion #RiskAssessments and sharing results with villages.
Raica na veikau🌳⛰️
Sharing research results including #landcover, #deforestation and #mining maps and posters with communities who helped build them in Votua Village in Ba, Fiji.
These posters and resources will be used by the village community for land use and #NaturalResourceManagement planning.
