Geospatial analyst at SAGE/COPPETEC mapping biodiversity data and modeling erosion hotspots in Serra do Mar.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
At SAGE/COPPETEC, I manage and process geospatial datasets for marine biology, biodiversity monitoring, and environmental research. I develop spatial layers, sampling-site databases, and thematic maps, integrating field, environmental, and remote-sensing data into reproducible GIS workflows.
For my master's research at Fluminense Federal University (UFF), I combined RUSLE, UNEP/MAP PAP/RAC, MapBiomas, Landsat, and SRTM to assess erosion and land degradation in Serra do Mar and produce soil-loss and priority-action maps. I also collaborated with Prof. Mohammad Al Abed at GORS on adapting the PAP/RAC framework and interpreting spatial model outputs.
