I am a PhD Candidate at LEEC. My research focuses on spatial aspects of Ecosystem Services, including modelling and quantification. I am currently developing my PhD sandwich in the Environmental System Analysis group (ESA) at Wageningen University and Research (WUR), in the Netherlands. I am learning how to apply the Ecosystem Accounting approach, which spatialize and quantifies ecosystem services in physical and monetary terms.
Project:
Ecosystem Services; Ecosystem Accounting; Spatial Ecology; Landscape Ecology; Conservation; Road Ecology; Expert knowledge assessment.
Grants and Funding:
From Sept. 2016 to Aug. 2017 I receive a grant from CAPES/NUFFIC for the PhD sandwich in cooperation with Larissa Barreto from Federal University of Maranhão (UFMA).
