I am a river catchment scientist with a profound passion for unraveling the intricate dynamics of rivers and their susceptibility to human impacts. My journey in research commenced with a focus on headwater streams and smaller catchments, but I have since broadened my horizons to delve into the study of larger rivers, with a particular emphasis on the River Niger. My primary mission in river dynamics and sensing is to decipher the complex interplay between natural processes and the resulting formations while harnessing the predictive power of a harmonious fusion of field-based measurements, Earth Observations, and cutting-edge machine learning algorithms. Furthermore, I investigate the profound influence of extreme events such as floods, droughts,
