Roberta Averna Valente (named used in publications since 2014) is, since 2009, a professor at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), Sorocaba campus. She is a forest engineer, graduated from ESALQ / USP (1998), where she completed her master's degree (2001), doctorate (2005 - Forest Resources), and postdoctoral degree (2010 - Biossistemas Department). Accredited in the Graduate Program in Planning and Use of Renewable Resources (PPGPur, UFSCar / Sorocaba) she develops projects applying geoprocessing to environmental planning, in particular, with Multicriteria Analysis (AMC), landscape ecology, and Ecosystem Services (ES). She is the leader of the Geotechnology Research and Forestry Planning group (GEOPLAN, UFSCar), with the main project (FAPESP 2018 / 21612-8), which aims to prioritize areas for forest conservation in water SE Programs.

Nowadays, the water is one of the Ecosystem Services (ES) under more pressure, considering its unequal distribution on the planet. Thus, we have as study area a basin, suffering with the conflict between land-use and water supply for the population and, that have experimental watersheds inside its limit, which have water data of quality and quantity. In this context, we will structure a D…
One of the main causes of the degradation of ecosystem services is the change in land use and cover, mainly due to the conversion of natural ecosystems to agriculture or pastures, as is the case of the Atlantic Forest. It is important to conserve existing native vegetation in the biome and restore to increase forest cover and landscape connectivity, thereby generating benefits for both bi…
Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) are fundamental for granting biodiversity protection and climate, hydrologic controls. However, temporally and spatially descontinued PES programs may compromise its effectiveness, being necessary a strategic planning for implementation. In this context, the present project aim to develop a methodology to identify priority areas for implementing PES p…
Population growth and climate change make urban centers one of the most environmentally and socially vulnerable areas. This situation requires urgent measures to plan cities to make them more resilient to social-environmental problems such as floods, landslides, surface water pollution, temperature rise, among others.Urban green infrastructure is one of the efficient strategies to provide…

The land-use/land-cover changes, simultaneously with climate change, cause a significant impact on the urban environment and ecosystem services. In this urban century, recognizing and considering in urban planning the strong interactions between social and ecological systems and the multiple benefits of green infrastructure is essential for cities to become more resilient to the impacts o…
