This study reviews how climate change affects European beech distribution and its alignment with the Natura 2000 network. Findings show declines in warm, dry margins, upward shifts in mountains, and limited northern expansion. Water deficit is the main driver. Effective conservation requires connectivity, adaptive management, and climate-informed protected-area planning.

This research examines how traditional and local knowledge (TLK) can be meaningfully integrated into disaster risk reduction laws in Fiji and Vanuatu. Through legal analysis, case studies, and community interviews, it shows that TLK is not just cultural heritage, but a vital, science-based strategy for disaster resilience and survival.

Urban farms in Baltimore need reliable irrigation water. This research tested harvested rainwater for E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella, and evaluated two treatments: sand–iron filtration and peracetic acid sanitizing. Both reduced E. coli, and sanitizing eliminated Listeria. Produce remained contamination-free, suggesting treated rainwater is a viable supplemental irrigation source.

My research uses high-resolution maps and video-game simulation software to model future flooding in Abu Dhabi under projected sea-level rise. The immersive tool helps identify risks, guide infrastructure adaptation, protect sensitive areas, and support long-term planning. By visualizing future scenarios, the project empowers communities and policymakers to take proactive climate action.
