My story
I'm biologist and a Master in Ecology and Conservation, both held at the University of the State of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT).
Currently I'm a PhD student at the UNEMAT, working with satellite image analysis for disturbances and forest degradation by climate and anthropogenic actions. Before that, I was a technical researcher of bilateral cooperation between the University of Leeds and UNEMAT for the implementation of activities associated with the TREMOR project, funded by the Natural Enverionment Research Council. Working mainly with environmental and climate data collection equipment and coordinating field and laboratory activities. Also acting in the analysis of data and development of tools and methods of data collection. Previously, I was a Technological and Industrial Development Scholar (DTI-C), at the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM). Through the project "Feedbacks between deforestation, agricultural expansion and climate change in southeastern Amazonia: opportunities and dangers". Working mainly in the areas of geoprocessing, cartography, landscape ecology, organizing and analyzing the geographical database of the region of MATOPIBA, Goiás and Mato Grosso.
Before on my graduation I worked at Environmental Analysis Laboratory. Working mainly in the areas of climatology, GIS, cartography and soil. After I worked at the LABEV-Laboratory of Plant Ecology, where I was a postgraduate CAPES Fellow, working mainly in the areas of phytogeography and landscape ecology, with studies on the Amazon / Cerrado transition.
Carbon cycling in forests
How much carbon can forests store and uptake in a changing climate?
Remote sensing
Techniques for collecting and analyzing satellite, aerial and drone images.
Cycle of water in the forests
As forests are machines to generate rain moving the water cycle and how the climatic changes and water stress can affect this cycle and the forest.
Forest Degradation
Degradation of rainforest caused by anthropic and climatic changes.
