Donatus has about 10 years of expertise in coastal processes, geomorphology, shoreline, currents, and the application of shore-based remote sensing for beach monitoring. His research is oriented toward the application of shore-based video and unmanned aerial vehicles (Drones) as complementary Tools for beach studies. One of his recent projects is the Coasts-Under-Control project funded by IRD-JEAI, France. His work looks at ways to establish quantifiable, easy-to-employ but ecologically reasonable metrics for identifying the combined impact of climate change and human-induced factors on coastal ecosystems.
