MARIA JOAO FERREIRA DOS SANTOS. My scientific research has been on the study of co-evolution in social-ecological systems, a fundamental step to place Earth System Sciences in the context of the Anthropocene. I study biodiversity and ecological change under the effects of land use, land cover and climate changes, and whether these impacts are mitigated by conservation actions over time. To achieve this goal, I focus on three research arches: 1. Identifying global change drivers and relate them to changes and fluxes in species and ecosystems, land use policy, and environmental governance 2. Investigate how land use and climate changes affect spatial and temporal dynamics of species and habitat at multiple scales 3. Use of state of the art remote sensing, GIS and quantitative analysis to answer interdisciplinary research questions Ultimately these research arches contribute to our understanding of how social-ecological system operate and evolve. During my dissertation I studied how to develop conservation plans inclusive of biodiversity and livelihoods, by assessing the the requirements of mammal carnivores in Mediterranean-type ecosystems in southern Portugal using geospatial technologies and remote sensing products. I studied population biology, diet, space, time and habitat use, distribution area and endemicity, towards a global understanding of key-requirements of these species to inform conservation actions. I have started this research during my undergraduate project and my masters project where I focused on linking ecological requirements with policy and management.
