Description
  • During my period at UQ, I have collaborated with other several outstanding researchers, including Professors Hugh Possingham, Kerrie Wilson, Anthony Richardson and Salit Kark. I have worked on multiple projects that enabled me to expand my knowledge and skills on oceanography, coastal and freshwater ecosystems ecology and conservation, climate change and spatial prioritization.

Identifying marine priorities for biodiversity conservation: a case study along Brazil’s marine ecoregions
Project
As a step towards providing support for a more ecological approach to strengthening MPAs and meeting policy targets, this study combines cumulative impact assessment and conservation planning methodologies to undertake a large-scale spatial prioritisation for the entire Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Brazil.
Long-term impacts of climate change on marine species in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean
Project
This project is part of the Brazilian National Network for Climate Change (Rede Clima Zonas Costeiras) which is a network of several institutions and researchers composed by several expertise groups. The main aim of the network is to establish a strong network of institutions and researchers to promote cutting edge studies about the effects of climate change.
Residence time of pelagic organisms in ecologically significant areas
Project
This project is part of the Brazilian National Institute of Science and Technology in Marine Sciences INCT-Mar COI which is a network of several institutions and researchers based at Federal University of Rio Grande. The main aim of the institute is to establish a strong network of institutions and researchers to promote cutting edge oceanographic projects.
