Jomar Magalhães Barbosa

I am interested in the application of Spatial analysis, Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing to answer research questions on the field of terrestrial ecology.  

Most of my research is oriented towards understanding earth’s ecosystems at different spatial and temporal scales. In particular, my research focuses on biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services, landscape ecology, and climate change. 

I am committed to deepen my knowledge on novel computational approaches that can tackle the algorithmic challenges associated with remote sensing and BigData analysis (computation performance, Bayesian data assimilation and forecasting, machine learning, etc.). In sum, I am professionally committed to use earth-imaging technologies to bridge gaps between environmental science, decision-making, and society for a sustainable world.
