Amon Kimeli carries out research on sediment dynamics along the Kenyan trying to understand the biophysical conditions that control sediment deposition & accretion
and their possible effects on critical habitats including mangroves. Recently he has also been generating shallow and deep-water bathymetry by processing Singlebeam
data obtained from acoustic echo-sounder (EK60) installed in RV Mtafiti and satellite imagery (remote sensing). He has experience in working with some acoustic systems
including MBES (Kongsberg EM2040, EM122), SBES (Knudsen 320B, Simrad EK 60) and sidescan sonar (Klein3900). He also has an interest in GIS applications and
modelling of sea level rise. He is also currently a PhD student at the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) GmbH at the Universität Bremen, Germany.
