Ahalya Suresh
PhD Candidate, Blue Carbon researcher, and Science communicator in Melbourne, Australia
Hey there! Thank you for visiting my page :)
I am a PhD researcher at the Centre for Nature Positive Solutions, RMIT University, Australia. My work revolves around the fascinating world of blue carbon ecosystems—the hidden champions of our planet's health.
I delve into the mysteries of coastal habitats like mangroves, seagrasses, and saltmarshes, exploring their vital role in promoting tourism value which can in turn be used to protect them. Through my research, I aim to uncover innovative conservation strategies to safeguard these precious ecosystems for future generations.
Beyond the lab, I'm deeply passionate about science communication and conservation outreach. I thrive on inspiring young minds and engaging communities in the wonders of our natural world. By bridging science and society, I strive to foster a greater appreciation for biodiversity and sustainable practices.
Apart from that, I am an introverted blogger, traveller, and amateur photographer. Check out my latest pics on Unsplash and my stories on Medium. I am a thalassophile, a coffeeholic, and a book junky.
Feel free to reach out and say 'hello' whenever our paths cross :)
