Desde Dezembro de 2022, investigadora sénior do CoLAB ForestWISE, e Co-Coordenadora da linha de Gestão do Risco. Tenho desenvolvido atividade na área da prevenção, integrando conhecimentos adquiridos no passado usando simuladores de comportamento do fogo, detecção remota e sistemas de informação geográfica. O interesse no estudo do perigo de incêndio rural à escala da paisagem, é suportado pelos projetos de investigação que liderou e colaborou, com um foco na melhoria da qualidade dos resultados das simulações de comportamento do fogo para apoiar a decisão de gestão do fogo, nas suas componentes da prevenção e do combate. É com base na integração deste conhecimento na gestão do fogo, que pretendo contribuir para uma maior resiliência da paisagem aos incêndios rurais, bem como para uma maior sustentabilidade do espaço florestal. Neste percurso profissional, foram contributos relevantes o doutoramento e licenciatura em engenharia florestal, bem como o mestrado em matemáticas aplicadas, graus académicos obtidos no Instituto Superior de Agronomia. Tenho também experiência de trabalho de campo em África e na Austrália, onde foi recolhida informação para apoiar a cartografia de áreas queimadas com imagens de satélite, entre outros objetivos que foram integrados na tese de doutoramento.

Institution / Organization
2000/08 - 2000/12 Fieldwork in Zambia (August) and Mozambique (November): The main goal was to produce and validate high resolution maps of burned areas in Northern Mozambique derived from Landsat satellite imagery classification. Experimental burns were done in Zambia for estimating fire behaviour parameters (e.g., combustion efficiency, rate of spread, intensity) and for characterizing the spectral properties of vegetation and burned areas. Vegetation recovery was also monitored with a spectroradiometer.
