Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (ESALQ) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Professor at Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). Also teaches graduate program PPGPUR at UFSCar and PPGRF at ESALQ/USP. Has two Post-Doc from the University of São Paulo (ESALQ/IB/USP); Doctor degree in Forest Resources from University of São Paulo (ESALQ); MSc in Geospatial Technologies from the European Erasmus Mundus program at University of Muenster (Germany), New university of Lisbon (Portugal) and University of Jaume I (Spain); and BSc in Environmental Management from University of São Paulo (ESALQ).He is Principal Investigator in the FAPESP thematic project "Atlantic Forest Strategy" (2021/11940-0) and "NewFor" (2018/18416-2). Main areas of interest are in the fields of Planning and Monitoring of Forest and Ecological Restoration, focusing on Ecosystem Services, with applications of geotechnologies such as modeling, GIS, remote sensing, and GNSS (GPS). His research is applied to mitigate problems caused by climate change, as well as to quantify ecosystem services and benefits for both people and nature, creating spatially explicit scenarios and models.

As important food and feed crops, maize and soybean occupy an important position in global food security and agricultural production. Optimizing soybean and maize cultivation patterns and strategies in China and Brazil, major producers, is of scientific and practical importance. This project aims to collaboratively and rapidly acquire data on canopy distribution, unit coverage, plant heig…
This proposal aims to create a Science Center for Development (CCD) aimed at the elaboration of strategies for the restoration of native vegetation in the Atlantic Forest Biome (Atlantic Forest Strategy - CCD-EMA). The project aims to generate information, presented in the form of strategic actions, aiming at the implementation of commitments to restore native vegetation in this biome, de…
Restoration methods, policies, and supportive market and legal instruments have been developed to promote large-scale restoration in the Atlantic Forest region. To shift the scale of restoration from few thousands to millions of hectares a novel approach is needed. This project aims to explore the potential of restored forests for benefiting people and nature in the Atlantic Forest hotspo…
The increase in forest cover through the ecological restoration of terrestrial ecosystems has been the most promising strategy for achieving global goals aimed at mitigating climate change and restoring the various ecosystem services provided by forests. Forest restoration through incentivized voluntary commitments plays a decisive role in expanding and adapting the mosaic of forest remna…
Tropical forests play a vital role in regulating the global climate and conserving biodiversity, serving as important carbon reservoirs essential for mitigating climate change. However, the persistent degradation and fragmentation of these forests continue to threaten their capacity for carbon sequestration and storage, highlighting the need for effective methods to frequently and widely …
Anthropogenic actions have represented the largest contributions of carbon emissions into the atmosphere for years, contributing significantly to climate change. In order to mitigate such changes and their respective consequences, international environmental agendas have been established at different scales with the aim of intensifying conservation and restoration activities of native veg…

Since the first years of colonization, the development of the Brazilian territory has been based on the exploitation and consequent destruction of native vegetation, however, it was strengthened from the 70's onwards with urban, agricultural and industrial expansion. The suppression of native vegetation, mainly on tropical forests, implies a reduction in water availability and quality, hi…
Due to the climate emergency, large-scale forest restoration is a current necessity. For situations requiring active restoration, direct seeding is a less costly and resource-intensive technique compared to seedling planting. In this context, the use of Remotely Piloted Aircrafts (RPAs) emerges as a promising alternative to optimize direct seeding. However, there is a lack of scientific s…
Recently, as a consequence of climate change, the growing demand for environmental awareness and ecosystem restoration have become evident. Furthermore, there is also the need to proper understand and assess the carbon stocks in tropical forests. The use of data from active remote sensors such as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) has great potential for measuring forest attributes - suc…

Forest restoration plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change and conservingbiodiversity. However, the success of restoration initiatives depends on the efficientallocation of resources and the participation of private institutions, which have been drivingthe sector through carbon projects. The monitoring of restored areas is of great importancefor assessing forest structure, ensur…
The proposed project comprises two topics. Theme 1 (main topic) focuses on developing a capsule designed to improve seed germination conditions in the field and to be suitable for direct seeding using drones. This proposal was conceived during the experiments conducted in Chapter II of my thesis, which tested various encapsulation methods currently available on the market. These tests rev…
The substantial loss of forests, coupled with human reliance on fossil fuels, is driving irreversible changes in global climate dynamics. In Brazil, the Atlantic Forest suffered intense deforestation over the years compromising ecosystem services such as climate regulation. Multiple national and international forest restoration commitments have been established seeking to minimize the imp…
