Aline Soterroni is a Research Fellow at the Department of Biology of the University of Oxford working on the Nature-based Solutions (NbSI) and Oxford Net Zero (ONZ) initiatives. She has experience with regional partial equilibrium land use modeling for quantitative environmental policy evaluation with a particular focus on Brazil. Her research has provided science-based results to inform local stakeholders and policymakers. Aline is interested in understanding the synergies and trade-offs between net zero policies and biodiversity conservation, including the role of nature-based solutions in climate mitigation and adaptation efforts. She is also interested in evaluating policies regarding ecosystems protection connected to forest-risk supply chain agreements. Having a Master's and a PhD degree in Applied Computing from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research, she has experience in applied mathematics and computing with a special focus on regional economic land use modelling. She is also a Guest Research Scholar at the Integrated Biosphere Futures Research Group of the IIASA Biodiversity and Natural Resources Program. Aline has been the lead developer of GLOBIOM-Brazil model since 2012. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
