GEOG Seminar 4/4: Matheus Nunes, "Exploring Dynamic Responses of Global Forests"
Assistant Research Professor Matheus Nunes will explore global forest shifts from 3:45 to 5:00 p.m. on April 4 at room 325 in River Road.
The world's forests are changing, and so are their responses to environmental changes. Nunes will show how these changes are occurring across the tropics, and how remote sensing has been crucial in providing new insights into the interacting factors affecting plant dynamics.
About the Speaker:
Matheus is a Brazilian forest engineer, and has received his PhD in Plant Sciences from the University of Cambridge in 2019. His research focuses on understanding what determines the structure, diversity and function of plant communities, and most of his work uses remote sensing and field surveys to explore how forests respond to global change, including the effects of forest fragmentation, logging and climate change. Nunes has been particularly interested in the use of LiDAR data to have new insights into the complexity of forest ecosystems, and how environmental variables and human disturbances can impact vegetation.
