Aline Oliveira is PhD in Applied Meteorology from the Department of Agricultural Engineering at the Federal University of Viçosa - Brazil. In 2020 obtained the recognition of the academic degree of doctor by the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra-Portugal. Completed a master's degree in Analysis and Modeling of Environmental Systems in 2012 and a degree in Geography, with an emphasis on geo-technologies and environmental sciences, in 2009, both from the Federal University of Minas Gerais-Brazil. Is a member researcher at the Center for Functional Ecology at the University of Coimbra and a postdoctoral researcher at the Coimbra Agricultural School of the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra. His main publication took place in 2018, in co-authorship, in the journal Nature Sustainability, whose work integrated the main findings of his PhD. His research follows the line of landscape management and environmental economics, specifically in fire ecology and economics. Develops models for creating territorial policies scenarios, at multiple scales of governance, including integrated spatial simulations of fire behavior and land-use changes. His research also consists of numerical modeling of agricultural and forestry profitability and the evaluation and valuation of ecosystem services. Aline Oliveira, as a field researcher, has already collected primary data in several forest locations in the Pan-Amazon (Brazil, Peru and Bolivia) in more than 40 medium-sized Brazilian cities and 60 forest areas in central and southern Portugal. Worked as a guest adjunct professor of undergraduate and graduate courses at the Coimbra Agricultural School - Portugal and an adjunct professor at the Pitágoras University - Brasil for 6 years, where she taught subjects in the areas of Fire Ecology, Environmental Management, Geotechnologies and Climate Sciences.

2021/02/01 - 2021/05/31 In May 2021, the InduForestFire Project promoted the webinar "Vegetation Management at the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI)". The event provided a perspective on vegetation management in wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas in Portugal, specifically in Industrial Zones. In addition to the aspects related to the behavior of fire and its effects, regulatory, normative, and inspection issues regarding the management of these areas were addressed. The webinar was funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT-Portugal). (2021/05/28 - 2021/05/28)

The seminar provided discussions on damage to industrial buildings resulting from fires originating in the industrial area itself or in its forest surroundings. The passive and active protection component of this type of building, risk analysis, industrial fire fighting, even the constructive aspects for improved behavior in case of fire were also addressed.
