Join Cheryl as she takes us into the incredible world of mangroves! She’s a postdoctoral researcher studying how blue carbon ecosystems like mangroves and salt marshes are responding to climate change. Cheryl combines information about plants on the ground with imagery collected from drones, planes, and satellites (remote sensing) as she seeks answers to how and why mangrove ecosystems are changing across scales, from individual plants to landscapes across the world. She is currently a NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) Fellow at the Goddard Space Flight Center working with Dr. Lola Fatoyinbo and mapping where tropical mangroves meet temperate salt marshes in order to uncover changes in mangrove habitat, structure, and carbon storage in coastal ecosystems.
