PhD Students


Ana Carolina M. Pessôa

Picture
holds a degree in Biological Sciences – Ecology from Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). She was an exchange student at University of Montana – USA through the Brazilian program ‘Science Without Borders’. She earned her Master’s degree in Remote Sensing from National Institute for Space Research (INPE) in 2016. Currently, works on the project ‘Tropical Deforestation and Economic Development’ (Research project – KLIMAFORSK, Norwegian Research Council – Project No: 230860/F10). The project is headed by Dr. Torfinn Harding and Dra. Liana Anderson. ​Her research interests includes forest ecology and environmental conservation, focusing on Protected Areas issues. 
Research: Redução de impactos ambientais através de incentivos financeiros e políticas de regulação do uso da terra: evidências dos incêndios florestais na Amazônia Legal​.

Debora Cristina Cantador

 Imagem
has a background in Geography from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) with a Master Degree in Geography from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). She is currently PhD student in Remote Sensing from the National Institute for Space Research in Brazil.
Research: The aim of my research is to verify the impact the change of the land use and land cover in the water resources, in the Atlantic Forest. For this, use the hydrologic modeling, specifically the model Soil Water Assessment Toll (SWAT), this is used for predict the effects the land use and management the production of sediments, water and chemicals in the watershed.

Kaio Allan Cruz Gasparini

 Imagem
is a Forestry Engineer at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro - UFRRJ (2012), MSc in Forestry Sciences (2014) at the Agricultural Sciences Center of the Federal University of Espírito Santo - CCA / UFES, with a research on Environment and Water Resources. PhD student in Remote Sensing at the National Institute of Space Research - INPE. Has experience in the area of Geoprocessing with a multi-purpose cadastre in the Department of Integrated Management of Space Control, linked to the Department of Planning of the City Hall of Linhares-ES. Currently, work with mapping of degraded forests with high resolution images and the existing relationships between loss vs biomass gain in the temporal domain.
Research: Development of a methodological approach for mapping and monitoring forest degraded areas due to selective logging and forest fires.

Ricardo Dal'Agnol da Silva

 Imagem
is an Environmental Engineer (2007-2011), Master in Remote Sensing from the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE, 2012-2014), and currently is a PhD student in Remote Sensing in INPE (2016-). His research is focused on forest and carbon dynamics and tropical forest ecology studies, mainly in Amazon forests, integrating field observations and remote sensing data. He is currently investigating tree mortality processes in Amazonia in different spatio-temporal scales using inventory plots, airborne LiDAR, optical very high resolution imagery, and Landsat and MODIS/MAIAC time series.
Research: Assessment of climate change impacts on the biomass and carbon dynamics in the Amazon (Fapesp grant 2015/22987-7)
