Climate & Ecosystem Repair Architect

Every degraded landscape contains the map of its own recovery.

The coupling that drove collapse is the same coupling that carries restoration. The question was never whether recovery is possible — it was always: where do you start?

Biotic Pump Land – Atmosphere Coupling Restoration Practice

Practice · three vehicles

One thesis, three vehicles.

The work spans a decade-plus of coupled land–atmosphere systems research and restoration practice. Three vehicles carry it into the world.

01 · Commercial

LandIQ

Landscape intelligence for Pakistan. Water, carbon, energy, and air read as one coupled system at district resolution. Co-founded with Khurram Irshad.

03 · Practice & Teaching

Precision Ecohydrology

Canada. Teaching, applied ecohydrology, and community-scale restoration. Where the ideas get field-tested with practitioners.

Landscape restoration, water-cycle design, and climate-policy work across Europe, North Africa, South America, and South Asia. Each engagement informs the next — methodology developed in one context is tested and refined in others.

Writing

Two voices. Two audiences.

Longer-form writing across science, restoration, and belonging. Different Substacks for different registers.
