Since June 2014 I'm working as a Research Associate at the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sheffield. I'm funded by the National Environmental Research Council (NERC) support to the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO). I completed a 5-year university degree and a PhD degree in Forestry from the School of Agriculture, University of Lisbon, in 1993 and 2005, respectively, with a PhD thesis entitled “Evaluation of Land Cover Changes in the Amazon Basin using Remote Sensing Data”. Between 2007 and 2014 I worked as a postdoctoral fellow and a research fellow at the Tropical Research Institute (Portugal). My main area of scientific activity is related to the use of remote sensing data for mapping and quantifying the status and changes in the biophysical parameters and land use/land cover types in tropical forests in relation to anthropogenic and climate change.

  1. Fire frequency analysis in Portugal (1975-2005), using Landsat-based burnt area maps. Fire frequency in 21 forest planning regions of Portugal during the period 1975–2005 was estimated from historical burnt area maps generated with semi-automatic classification of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite imagery. Fire return interval distributions were modelled with the Weibull function and the estimated parameters were used to calculate regional mean, median and modal fire return in. 2012.
