My research at FSU mainly focused on satellite image analysis and modeling oil spill advection and persistence as a function of air-sea interaction. I contributed research on chronic anthropogenic oil spills, natural seeps, and the BP/Deepwater Horizon surface oil in the Gulf of Mexico.

I used analytical software packages (Matlab and ArcGIS), synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, and modeled oceanographic data to:1) examine the feasibility of SAR images in oil slick detection,2) perform hindcast modeling for analyzing the temporal evolution of the natural oil slicks under the influence of wind and surface currents, 3) quantify the magnitude and distribution of surface oil in the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) discharge, and4) develop a now-cast surface oil advection model which provides a quantitative and spatial estimate of where the oil slicks formed and dissipated in the Gulf of Mexico during the DWH discharge.

Quantified the magnitude and distribution of surface oil in the Gulf of Mexico from the British Petroleum (BP)/Deepwater Horizon discharge using Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite images for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA).

Developed an easily accessible tool for the Southeast to monitor drought to assist agencies such as the US Geological Survey in identifying areas that are more prone to drier conditions. Used level-3 surface reflectance, land surface temperature and emissivity data (acquired by Terra/Aqua MODIS), and precipitation data for the study period of 2008-2013. Estimated drought indices such as The Water Condition Index, Day-Night Temperature Difference Condition Index, Vegetation Drought Index, and Arid Index on a regional scale (Alabama and Georgia).
