Research projects
Followings are the main research projects, I am currently involve. Besides, I am engaged with various small scale projects, national and international collaborators. I am always open, actively seeking to improve and keen to extend this horizons.

Forest Flows
Forest Flows is a five year research programme (September 2019 to September 2024) focussing on forest hydrology. Senior scientist Dr Dean F. Meason is the programme leader of this MBIE-project.
The programme will focus on developing methods to predict and optimise water use and supply in planted forests to answer the questions: Where is the water? Where is it going? And who gets to use it?
It has three main impact areas (IAs):
1. Quantifying water process within a forested catchment
2. Spatially quantify forest water flux and storage at different scales with novel remote-sensing technology
3. Develop and apply an assessment framework for the environmental, socioeconomi, and cultural impactrs of planted forest on downsttream water ecosystem services.
