This work aims to study in a comparative way six reservoirs cascading into the Tietê river (Barra Bonita, Bariri, Ibitinga, Promissão, Nova Avanhandava, Três Irmãos) (São Paulo, Brazil) through remote sensing techniques, using Sentinel images 2 (S2), worked on the SNAP software, both from the European Space Agency. It is expected to validate the algorithms to estimate the chlorophyll a (C…
Assessing the water quality of lakes and reservoirs is a fundamental step in active environmental management programs. In addition to the classic procedures for in situ water samples collecting, complementary approaches are also interesting. This work aims to study comparatively numerous São Paulo reservoirs, using remote sensing techniques, using images from the Sentinel 2 satellite (A a…
This project aims to strengthen collaboration between research groups coordinated by Prof. Dr. Eduardo Vicente, from the Department of Microbiology and Ecology, Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Valencia (Campus de Burjassot, Valencia, Spain), with the group coordinated by me in the Department of Ecology, Institute of Biosciences, University from São Paulo. The activities plan…
Assessing the water quality of lakes and reservoirs is a fundamental step in active environmental management programs. In addition to the classic in-situ water sampling procedures proposed in this project, it is also interesting to apply other complementary approaches to on-site studies. This work aims to study the Barra Bonita reservoir (São Paulo), evaluating the quality of its waters a…

The scientific initiation fellow (SI) requested will develop the project titled "Use of satellite images in evaluating the water quality of reservoirs used for public supply: with an emphasis on chlorophyll-a," contributing to Subthemes 6.1 and 6.2 of the call for proposals. For the years 2021 and 2022, field collections are planned in at least three zones of each of the six reservoirs st…
To estimate chlorophyll a (Chla) concentrations and Secchi disk depth (DS) using algorithms in S2 images, it is convenient to confirm these observations through field data, which will be developed in this project. Samples will be collected in at least three zones from each of the six reservoirs studied in the Cantareira System (SC). Of which chlorophyll concentrations, DS depth and the re…
Zooplankton includes microscopic animals that live suspended in the water and are considered indicators of environmental quality, because their sensitivity to changes in the aquatic environment due to anthropogenic interference. The Cantareira System is composed of five reservoirs covering 12 cities in two states in Southeastern Brazil. Despite recording a few negative impacts relative to…

Monitoring water quality in public supply reservoirs is essential for environmental management, especially in tropical regions subject to cyanobacterial blooms. Chlorophyll-a, a photosynthetic pigment present in all phytoplankton groups, is widely used as an indicator of algal biomass and eutrophication. The use of orbital remote sensing, particularly with images from the European Space A…
The quality of inland waters has been significantly impacted by anthropogenic activities, demanding more effective monitoring methods. Traditional chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) monitoring, an important indicator of phytoplankton biomass, eutrophication, and aquatic ecosystem health, has limitations in terms of spatial scale, frequency, and associated costs. In this context, remote sensing combine…
The sediments are very important in aquatic ecosystem, since they are the final destiny of many compounds that enter in the water body, constituting a concentrated pool of these substances. Besides, the understanding of sediment dynamics (structure, function and heterogeneity) enables the understanding of important aspects of the water mass dynamics. This project aims the study of seven r…
