| Work Experience | Since 1985, I have ebeen working with the group of ecological studies of the Federal Unicersity of Ceara (UFC), Brasil. my main Project have also been concentrated in the delimination of geo-environmental units, their use limitation considering severeal important problems of degradation. My work has been conducted with the mapping of the resources of a semiarid country in Ceara State, Brazil based on the interpretation of sensor images, accompanied by field work. During my PhD sutdies in Almeria, Spain, I have collaborated with researches about land degradation processes that affect the landscapes produced by anthropic activity. I have also participated in activities (courses, workshop, seminars) about ecological problems of degradation and desertification in several countries like Argentina, Spain, Russia, Armenia, Uzbekistan and Morocco. |
