I am a Professor at the School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities (EACH) of the University of São Paulo in the area of Remote Sensing and Geoprocessing. I graduated in geography (FFLCH - USP) and did my master's and PhD in geological oceanography at the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo with an internship at the Département de géologie et océanographie of the Université de Bordeaux I - France; I also did a post-doctoral internship at the Oceanographic Institute with sediment transport in coastal areas. I worked as a field geophysicist in the seismic field for Schlumberger in Norway and Abu Dhabi (UAE).. My main line of research is the application of geotechnologies (remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems) to characterise marine and coastal habitats. I also participate in research into the development and application of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) applied to coastal management and marine spatial planning. I have a special interest in teaching and publicising Earth Sciences. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The project to be developed under the FAPESP PPPP call aims to bring a a highly innovative perspective to the management of marine and coastal protected areas, providing information, guidance and establishing procedures and methods to promote the "Ecosystem-Based Management" (EBM) approach based on the ecological and social attributes and processes of the Marine Environmental Preservation…
Coastal mapping programmes are quickly becoming a priority for government and agencies and scientific organizations worldwide and the current context of global changes (enhanced environmental dynamism and large-scale human sea use) induces new challenges for digital mapping. The need to better define and understand the land/sea interface is based on several interrelated factors, including…
Remote sensing, combining a series of platforms and sensors, including satellite imagery, aerial drone surveys, multi-beam swath mapping, side-scan sonar and drop and towed video, (including from remotely operated underwater vehicle [ROV]), provides sophisticated new capacity for the characterization of coastal and nearshore habitats. This proposal builds on the recent complementary devel…
This project aims the study of morphosedimentary characteristics of a coastal region of the Estuarine complex of Suape Harbour - Pernambuco State, Brazil. The analisys will focus on the relationship between the physical and geological parameters with the local biodiversity and the determination of new methods of coastal monitoring and management based on remote sensing and GIS framework.…

This project aims to analyze the impact of disseminating information about marine issues on public engagement in ocean conservation. By applying journalistic practices to interpret and translate complex concepts, the goal is to create diverse content that communicates the research findings to a broad audience, raising awareness about the importance of science and conservation efforts.
The present project aims the evaluation and analysis of the effectiveness of different methodologies for the classification of high resolution satellite images of commercial (World View III) and also free access (Google Earth), thus helping to characterize patterns of coastal and marine habitats. The study area will be the intralagunar region of Suape Industrial Port Complex (PE). It is i…
Submarine canyons are dynamic environments that support diverse biological communities including fisheries. Recent work on the Irish Porcupine Bank Canyon (PBC), a natural laboratory isolated from terrigenous input, has revealed extensive speciose, high biomass cold-water coral (CWC) structural habitats. This "big science" project uses Irish state-of-the-art and new innovative marine expl…
