Ms Tasya Sarira
Higher Degree by Research Candidate
Postgraduate Researcher
School of Biological Sciences
Faculty of Sciences
Tasya is a spatial analyst with a keen interest in the human-environment discourse. Her current research investigates people’s reliance on nature’s services, and explores the consequences and tradeoffs of exploits from land use and climate change, to ecosystem services and biodiversity. She works extensively with aerial and satellite imagery as well as derived spatial data, and believes in the importance of collaboration with industry, government, and NGOs to assess and find solutions to the most urgent of environmental problems.
