The objective of this project is to map, monitor and analyse changes in land use and land cover between 1970 and 2020 in the state of São Paulo, using remote sensing and geoprocessing techniques. For this, we will use information acquired by several remote orbital sensors with different spectral, spatial and temporal resolutions (Landsat MSS, TM, ETM +, OLI; Sentinel-2 MSI; Terra MODIS; P…
The proposed research will address the role of coupling between the land surface and the atmospheric boundary layer in the Amazon region of Brazil. A better understanding of the dynamics of land-atmosphere coupling is essential for assessing the stability of hydrologic regimes such as drought. The Amazonian region of Brazil has been shown to represent a region of strong soil moisture-prec…
This project presents a methodological approach for mapping and monitoring forest degraded areas due to selective logging and forest fires. In this context, the State of Mato Grosso was selected for the study area, a region that has several vegetation types and has suffered major changes in the land use and land cover due to the advance of agriculture in the cerrado regions, as well as th…

Drylands, including regions of hyper-arid, arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid climates, represent approximately 40% of the Earth's surface and more than two billion people depend on the services provided by these ecosystems. High rates of deforestation and degradation coupled with frequent extreme droughts renders dryland vegetation, including that existing in the Brazilian semiarid region…
Investigations involving floristic composition and biogeochemical cycles of tropical forests are crucial for its conservation and sustainable management. In this context, hyperspectral remote sensing has been used for tree species discrimination and canopy chemistry studies. These studies have just recently become feasible, due to the acquisition of airborne hyperspectral images over trop…
Each year fires devastate large forests areas, grasslands and agricultural regions, consuming a large amount of biomass and releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These factors influence directly the climate and the environment, where the energy released by fire, the trace gases emitted to the atmosphere, the changing of the surface reflectance and the changes in the radiative ba…
The environmental degradation is a topic discussed at all levels of scientific research. The changes of the natural elements by exploitative practices usually related to the use and management of vegetation causes changes in physical-chemical and biological interactions in components of the land surface and atmospheric composition. The main objective of this research project is to evaluat…
Vegetation phenology is the recurring periodic patterns of plant growth and development and is linked to many key processes in the respective ecosystem. Vegetation phenology studies can, therefore, provide information on the effects of climate and environmental changes. In this context, natural vegetation in drylands plays an important role as it is directly related to food security, biod…
