PhD in Remote Sensing from INPE, with experience in tropical ecology and land use and land cover change processes in the Amazon. His research focuses on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and databases for forest monitoring with big data in remote sensing, seeking to advance the understanding of the dynamics of tropical forests and promote their conservation to mitigate climate change. He is currently a research scientist at the NGO CTrees, and a collaborating researcher at the JPL-NASA, TREES/INPE, and RSATE/University of Manchester laboratories. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The Amazon Forest is an essential component of the global climate system. It consists in ca. 40% of tropical forests, store ca. 120 ± 30 Pg of carbon in biomass, and constantly exchange carbon with the atmosphere by productivity, mortality and decomposition, and also due to deforestation and fires. Our limited knowledge of tree mortality processes constrains our ability to accurately quan…
The Amazon rainforest has proven crucial in the global climate feedback, acting as a strong carbon sink. However, empirical data show a decrease in carbon sequestration associated with increased tree mortality, which, in turn, may be associated with the climate variability. Nevertheless, it have not been found in the literature studies that address tree mortality mapping in Amazon level a…
The role of the Amazon forest as a carbon sink has been extensively studied. However, recent results show that this sink is declining possibly due to climate variability, driving an increase in tree mortality, with feedbacks between growth and death of trees. Even though forest inventory plots have been the main source of information to monitor and assess impacts of global changes on ecos…
