Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Holds a degree in Meteorology from the University of São Paulo (1997) and a doctorate in Environmental Sciences from Wageningen University and Research Centre, Netherlands (2007). Has experience in the area of #8203;#8203;Geosciences, with emphasis on Micrometeorology and Biosphere-Atmosphere Interaction, mainly working on the following topics: Surface fluxes, Eddy Covariance and Studies of Carbon and Water Cycles and Interaction with the climate system, using different methods of observation and analysis of remote sensing data and terrestrial biosphere models. Currently holds the position of Head of the Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability Division of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), managing approximately 100 researchers, promoting and improving integrated activities of observation, modeling, scenarios and synthesis in the context of the Earth system.

O AmazonFACE é um experimento em escala de ecossistema que testa os efeitos do aumento da concentração atmosférica de CO2 na floresta amazônica, abordando as incertezas da resposta e resiliência do ecossistema às mudanças climáticas. Este Experimento de Enriquecimento de CO2 ao Ar Livre é considerado uma abordagem científica crucial para resolver as principais fontes de incerteza em relaç…
The Cerrado and Caatinga biomes have the largest available stock of land for agricultural expansion in Brazil, besides having vast areas of high solar and wind potential. Their natural resources are also vital for climate regulation and for human survival and well-being. The general objective of this proposal is to explore how a participatory approach, integrating qualitative and quantita…
This proposed research aims to study the lifecycle of secondary aerosols in pristine and polluted conditions in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) of Amazonia. The investigation spans the biological and physical conditions influencing emissions and reactions of precursors (biogenic and anthropogenic volatile organic compounds, VOCs), formation, transport of aerosols out of the ABL and t…
This project proposes activities of research and technological development to test the use of a prototype of environmental sensors (geosensors) in a study site of tropical forest in Amazonia, Brazil, forming a sensor network with high spatial resolution, and to develop software tools for data quality control and integration. The main premise is that the geosensors should have relatively l…
In Brazil, Cerrado and Caatinga biomes are identified as the main providers of land available for converting natural vegetation into areas for agriculture. However, the transition from natural areas to anthropogenic systems can bring greater implications in relation to loss of biodiversity, regulation of the hydrological and climate regimes, in addition to affecting local socioeconomic re…
Como resultado da esperada diversificação dos recursos energéticos nos próximos anos, o sistema elétrico brasileiro provavelmente estará mais vulnerável ao clima do que hoje. Isso chama a atenção para a importância de um melhor entendimento da variabilidade e complementaridade dos diversos recursos energéticos em diferentes escalas de tempo (FRANÇOIS, 2016). Esse conhecimento permite o de…

Fire is essential to maintain the diversity and integrity of Cerrado. With global climate change and the intensification of human activities in the Biome, fire regime in Cerrado is being altered, allowing more frequent, intense, and damaging fires in the Biome. As a strategy to prevent large scales fires, Integrated Fire Management (IFM) is being legally implemented in Brazil since 2012, …
