[1] Her research focuses primarily on working with the practices of local communities to develop effective strategies that conserve and protect the coastal systems.

[4] In 2006 Jupiter received a PhD focused on the connections between land usage and downstream impacts from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

[5] During graduate school, Jupiter attended a lecture by Peter Walsh who had previously worked with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).

Working alongside villagers and observing processes such as tabu, Jupiter attempts to help local communities decide when, where, and how long to close off the areas of the reef.

With the help of other collaborators, Jupiter has shown how the rise of logging and mining not only have negative effects on the water quality of coral reefs, but they also increase the risk of transmitting waterborne diseases like typhoid.

One comic book is about a goby fish who travels throughout the river and come into contact with challenges related to environmental concerns caused by human influence.

[2] In 2019 Jupiter was recognized by the MacArthur Foundation for her efforts to save lives and coral reefs by building on already existing research and considering new ways to manage natural resources.
