Urban Cooling

Living Watersheds

Mapped urban heat across Lisbon, combining satellite imagery, street-level measurements, and shaded cooling strategies for vulnerable neighborhoods.

Regenerative Soil

Restored a degraded watershed through native planting, erosion monitoring, and community-led water testing from mountain springs to downstream farms.

Coastal Resilience

Tested regenerative soil practices that increase carbon storage, retain moisture, and support healthier harvests through changing seasons.

Field Notes

Documented coastal resilience measures, pairing dune restoration with wave data to help communities prepare for rising seas.
