Keleisha is an environmental researcher completing her Honours at James Cook University. Her project explores how farm dams behave in drought-prone areas – using satellite data to track how water bodies shrink and swell over time. By analysing water patterns across different landscapes and river types, her research supports more accurate water storage assessments and climate resilience strategies.
Keleisha’s work helps us better understand how small, biodiverse water bodies respond to changing conditions in Australia’s drought-affected regions. Her research improves how we map and manage water in complex natural environments, supporting sustainable land and resource management into the future.
Bachelor of Environmental Practice (Honours)
Keleisha is studying a Bachelor of Environmental Practice (Honours) at James Cook University. This path combines fieldwork, geospatial analysis, and environmental systems research. Careers in geomorphology and environmental science often begin with a Bachelor of Environmental Practice, Environmental Science, or Geoscience – followed by postgraduate research focused on landforms, water, and climate.
