David Williams
Stanford University
Abstract
This study investigates the effects of climate change on coastal ecosystems in Southeast Asia. Using satellite imagery and field surveys conducted between 2018-2023, we analyzed coral reef degradation, mangrove forest changes, and sea-level rise impacts across five countries. Results indicate a 30% decline in healthy coral cover and significant mangrove loss, threatening biodiversity and local communities.
