My scholarly vision addresses the present ecological problems which are related to natural resources management by using the most recent methods of remote sensing techniques. The Use of RS/GIS tools in environmental problems help to build up comprehensive solutions. Since accepting my first faculty appointment in 2012, I have maintained an active interdisciplinary research agenda. When conducting research, I commonly utilize a mixed-methods approach to data collection and analysis. This approach involves the use of both qualitative and quantitative research protocols. My goal as a researcher is to methodically acquire, assess, and transmit robust scientific knowledge that addresses timely environmental issues and natural resource-related problems to academicians, policymakers, practitioners, and members of the general public.
Over the past 8 years, I have been the recipient or co-recipient of approximately €700 thousand in research/scholarly funding from several entities, including the Hellenic Aid, INTERREG IIIB and the Dean of Scientific Research, King Abdulaziz University. Findings from the studies funded by these entities have been, and continue to be, disseminated in a variety of venues. Included herein are paper presentations at professional meetings and printed materials such as research reports to the sponsoring agency, Cooperative Extension/outreach education factsheets, and peer-reviewed journal articles.
I routinely publish my research results in several peer-reviewed journals, including the leading publications of three professional indexing: The Science Citation Index (SCI), Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), and SCOPUS. To this point in my career, most of my peer-reviewed publications have centered around two focal areas: Applications of RS/GIS in natural resources management, and watershed scale management. In addition to peer-reviewed journal articles, my research has led to the development of outreach educational and technical assistance programs/publications that address important issues relating to community and natural resources.
