Lucía Gabriela De Stefano
@lucagabrieladestefano
Remote sensing scientist and earth observation analyst turning water and ecosystem data into actionable conservation insights.
What I'm looking for
I’m an environmental scientist with 9+ years of experience in water systems, ecosystem monitoring, remote sensing, and quantitative data analysis. I specialize in spatio-temporal analysis, statistical modeling, machine learning, and Google Earth Engine to monitor surface water and assess long-term environmental change across Latin America.
Through my postdoctoral work and Ph.D. research, I’ve focused on catchment-scale dynamics and how ecological processes respond to environmental drivers. My thesis work examines spatial-temporal patterns of Dinoflagellates in North Patagonian lakes, alongside dissolved organic matter, phytoplankton, and underwater light climate.
I care about translating complex environmental findings into clear, decision-ready insights for conservation, water management, environmental consulting, and sustainability-focused industries. I’ve also supported students as a biostatistics teaching assistant and enjoy communicating scientific results to interdisciplinary audiences.
