Activity summary

My current research is focused on three lines: (1) I’m developing several projects on bird migration and flight dynamics using bio-logging techniques. (2) I’m developing analytical tools to quantify wind turbine impacts on soaring birds and seabirds. (3) I’m developing remote sensing tools to quantify and monitor of sea level rise impacts on large remote wetlands, with particular focus on the Amazon River delta.
