Graduated in Physics (bachelor's degree) from the Federal University of Goiás (UFG, 1987), has a master's degree in Physics from the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE, 1991) and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of São Paulo (USP, 1999), with a Sandwich internship at NASA GSFC (USA). She completed a post-doctorate at NASA Ames (2000/2001). She was a fellow of the FAPESP Young Researcher program between 2001 and 2002 at the Institute of Astronomy, Geophysics, and Atmospheric Sciences (IAG) at USP. She was a senior scientist for the Universities Space Research Association/Goddard Earth Sciences Technology and Research (USRA/GESTAR) at the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) at NASA GSFC from 2016 to 2021. She has been a researcher at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE ) since 2007. He has experience in Geosciences, with an emphasis on Atmospheric Chemistry, working mainly on the following topics: numerical modeling, air quality, radiative transfer, fires and their impacts on weather and climate changes, numerical prediction of the atmosphere, including pollutants. She is one of the leaders in developing the BRAMS model (Brazilian developments on the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System). She is one of those responsible for developing and maintaining the air quality numerical modeling system for South America operational at CPTEC / INPE. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The fires that occur annually in various biomes of South America emit to the atmosphere a huge amount of aerosols and trace gases. The presence of aerosols in the atmosphere alters the radiation balance, cloud microphysical properties, water cycle and air quality in the troubled regions. The trace gases either primary or secondary pollutants also generate significant damage to the environ…
This research project intends to cover a wide range of topics related to the impacts of the sugarcane ethanol production and consumption. It initially aims to map the sugarcane cultivated areas in South Central Brazil, so as to support the generation of scenarios related to plausible spatial patterns for the sugarcane crops expansion in the short- and medium-terms. These scenarios will dr…

The terrestrial vegetation, especially tropical forests, releases large amounts of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) into the atmosphere. It is estimated that BVOCs global emissions are dominant (1150 Tg C/year) in relation to anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (50 - 100 Tg C/year). In tropical regions, BVOCs accounts for approximately 70% of the total emission, confirmin…
A mapping of the dry and wet deposition of nitrogen species in South America will be performed, aiming an assessment of the modifications in the biogeochemical cycles of the potential affected ecosystems in South America. The use of the 3D atmospheric transport model CCATT-BRAMS "Coupled Chemistry-Aerosol-Tracer Transport model coupled to Brazilian Regional Atmospheric Modelling System" i…
The CCATT-BRAMS model, developed and maintained by INPE, is a 3D atmospheric chemical transport model, suitable for simulation of emissions, transport and removal process of trace gases and aerosols and the atmospheric reactivity. The student propose to use this model to assess the physical and chemical mechanisms that conduct the chemistry in the low troposphere, for Central America and …

This proposal is part of the effort to broaden the understanding of the indirect effects of aerosols in Amazonia in the evolution of the surrounding atmosphere. The method involves the use of data analysis and numerical modeling. For that, new developments of CCATT - BRAMS (Coupled Chemistry - Aerosol - Tracer Transport model coupled to Brazilian Regional Atmospheric Modeling System) are …

Data from several in-situ studies suggest that the organic fraction in the total reactive nitrogen (Nr) atmospheric deposition is significant both worldwide and in South America. Uncertainties in its modeling are also very high and, typically, models tend to underestimate the organic fraction. The present project aims to reduce the gap between observational data and modeling results for o…
