Cassia Caballero

Graduate Student (PhD)

Dr. Cassia Caballero is a researcher with a focus on water and environmental analyses. Her research blends methodological and applied techniques to understand land-water-climate interactions across terrestrial and aquatic systems. She focuses on the use of remote sensing technologies for water quality monitoring and hydrological analysis, integrating geospatial analysis, machine learning, and field-based methods. Her research includes quantifying the impacts of land use and land cover change on surface-atmosphere interactions, as well as developing satellite-based tools for monitoring optically active constituents in coastal systems.

She is particularly interested in how human activities and climate affect water resources, and in producing knowledge that informs environmental management and sustainability initiatives. Ultimately, her work seeks to understand and mitigate the impacts of human-driven changes and climate on hydrological and aquatic systems, contributing to more resilient and equitable water management strategies.
