Portfolio
I work at the intersection of environmental science, sustainability, climate resilience, GIS, soil research, and community-centered environmental action.
About
Shamina Israt Tithi is an Earth and Environmental Sciences educator and researcher based in Queens, New York. She holds a Master of Arts in Earth and Environmental Sciences from Brooklyn College, CUNY, and a Bachelor of Science in Forestry from the University of Chittagong.
Her academic and professional work connects environmental science, sustainability, GIS, soil research, forestry, climate resilience, and community engagement. As an Adjunct Lecturer at Brooklyn College, she teaches undergraduate students about dynamic Earth processes while designing lectures, assignments, interactive labs, and real-world learning activities.
Her experience also includes sustainability coordination, environmental field inspections, seafood processing recovery research, soil profile analysis, disaster risk reduction planning, climate-resilient community projects, and biodiversity-focused forestry research.

Experiences
Teaches dynamic Earth processes to undergraduate students and designs course lectures, assignments, and active-learning activities. Provides academic mentorship and coordinates with faculty members to support consistent curriculum delivery.
Supported environmental compliance and internal sustainability standards by monitoring environmental KPIs, analyzing environmental data, maintaining reporting records, and developing strategies aligned with environmental and financial goals.
Conducted site visits to assess environmental risks, reviewed safety materials and PPE use, supported asbestos exposure hazard reporting, and contributed to stakeholder communication, proposals, reports, newsletters, and environmental advocacy materials.
Conducted metadata analysis and literature review on seafood processing recovery rates. Compiled and categorized data for fish species and product types to support research on sustainable seafood processing and waste management.
Collected and analyzed soil samples, assessed soil profile characteristics, and supported land management and environmental planning through soil quality, nutrient, and pH analysis.
Prepared daily survey reports and monitored village-level disaster risk reduction plans to support improved climate and disaster resilience.
Supported climate-resilient schemes for vulnerable communities and helped create a project implementation standard manual for climate-related development initiatives.
Conducted seed collection for native threatened tree species and supported biodiversity preservation through seed treatment, nursery work, and high-quality seedling production.
Projects
Designed and supported learning activities that connect GIS, environmental science, and climate resilience through spatial thinking, mapping, and real-world case studies.
Analyzed scientific literature and metadata on seafood processing recovery rates across fish species and product types to support sustainable seafood processing and waste reduction practices.
Collected and analyzed soil samples to identify soil properties relevant to land management, nutrient content, pH levels, and environmental planning.
Supported disaster risk reduction planning and climate-resilient schemes for vulnerable communities through survey reporting, village-level planning, and implementation support.
Worked on seed collection, seedling production, and preservation of native threatened tree species, contributing to biodiversity and forest resource management.
