Professor associado - UENF

As a marine biologist, my interests are to investigate how biotic and abiotic factors
influence patterns and processes in reef environments and how these relationships
vary in space and time. Currently, my cooperation with LECAR involves the data
curation of monitoring programs (Projeto Costão Rochoso in Arraial do Cabo Marine
Extractive Reserve, PELD-ILOC Long-term monitoring program of reef communities
in Brazilian oceanic islands), the supervision of post-graduation students and
research development.

Biólogo marinho, com interesse em investigar como fatores bióticos e abióticos
influenciam padrões e processos em ambientes de recifes e como essas relações
variam no espaço e no tempo. Atualmente, minha cooperação com o LECAR
envolve a curadoria de dados de programas de monitoramento (Projeto Costão
Rochoso na Reserva Extrativista Marinha de Arraial do Cabo, PELD-ILOC Programa
de monitoramento de longo prazo de comunidades de recifes em ilhas oceânicas
brasileiras), a supervisão de alunos de pós-graduação e o desenvolvimento de
pesquisas.
