Excited to welcome another new member in our group!

Takehiko Shimizu is a PhD candidate at Hokkaido University, Japan. He has joined our group as a visiting PhD student for one year. His research focuses on understanding how natural wetland loss affects migratory shorebirds across multiple spatial and temporal scales, and on exploring ways to mitigate these impacts through artificial habitats (e.g., rice paddies, aquaculture ponds). He approaches these questions by field surveys, large-scale monitoring data analysis, and satellite-based remote sensing.

Welcome Takehiko!
