Jasha Dehm is a research fellow under the Pacific Ocean and Climate Crisis Assessment Project at the University of the South Pacific’s (USP) Pacific Centre for Environment and Sustainable Development (PaCE-SD). Currently, Jasha is completing his PhD, which is centred around understanding drivers for change within urban marine systems in Fiji and how coastal hydrodynamic circulation patterns influence these. He has researched and collaborated in several studies and projects in coastal oceanography, pollution, ecology and spatial change. He will support this APN project via his understanding of microplastics within urban coastal marine environments and hydrodynamic circulation patterns.
