In 2025, she began working as a researcher at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), where she also teaches on the postgraduate course in Remote Sensing. She co-leads the TREES lab (TRopical Ecosystems and Environmental Sciences lab), where she conducts research with young researchers from undergraduate to postdoctoral levels on the topics of risk management and impacts associated with forest fires and the impacts of extreme weather on Amazonian ecosystems and populations.Since March 2017, Liana has held a CNPq Productivity Grant. On the research.com platform, I am ranked 4245th in the world and 23rd nationally among scientists in the field of environmental sciences. In 2025, a study by Agência Bori identified the Brazilian researchers who most influence public policy, and I am ranked among the top 90.[https://research.com/scientists-rankings/environmental-sciences/br][https://abori.com.br/relatorios/bori-overton-pesquisadores-politicas-publicas/]Personal page - http://www.liana-anderson.org/Laboratory page - https://www.treeslab.org/.
