  • My research interests lie in the fields of Hydrogeology, Water Resources and the Impacts of Climate Change both in terms of threats to Community Water Supplies and to risks associated with changing weather patterns. My present research involves in GIS based flood plain mapping and modeling of the Hope River Watershed, St Andrew, Jamaica. This is a part of the WORLD BANK funded project on Caribbean Disaster Risk Atlas. Other research includes creation of the flood inundation map for Port Maria, St Mary Jamaica, a town which gets significantly flooded after a heavy rainfall following passage of tropical storm or hurricane. Research has also been done on the hydrochemistry of the groundwater wells of the Kingston basin, the most densely populated and polluted basin supplying water to the entire parishes of Kingston and St Andrew. Saline water instrusion studies involving DC (direct current ) resistivity studies have also been carried out in the alluvium aquifer of St Catherine as another aspect of my research.
