School of Architecture and Civil Engineering

Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology

My areas of research include the sustainable management of water resources, the evolution of incorporating environmental factors in engineering decisions and the assessment of system recovery. The framework for the research is based on considering socio-ecological systems as nested adaptive systems.
