Environmental Dynamics

Research of physical, socio-environmental and health processes in regional ecosystems.

Research lines:

• Environment and Quality of Life – This line of research addresses the interaction between the built environment, the natural environment and the urban community, with a focus on quality of life. Investigates how cities can adapt to new realities, integrating built and natural resources, with a view to developing procedures and techniques that support the energy transition, environmental comfort (thermal, acoustic, light and respiratory), sustainable planning and the promotion of environmental resilience.

• Environmental Monitoring, Assessment and Control – This line of research focuses on monitoring changes and interactions in the Cerrado and Pantanal biomes. With a focus on understanding, analyzing and modeling carbon biogeochemistry, nutrient cycling, water security, remote sensing and environmental bioindicators, used as environmental assessment and control instruments, seeking to develop risk mitigation strategies, considering the interdisciplinarity and transversality of environmental dynamics.
