| Work Experience | Since 1994, I have coordinated 14 research projects funded by Brazilian and French funding agencies including the French Ministry of Ecology, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEE), and the French Fund for World Environment (AFD/FFEM Project). I also participated to 13 other national and international projects, e.g. project funded by the European Community (STD2-contract), another funded by NASA and NSF. IRD representative in the GEF/UNEP Project “Carbon Benefits Project: Modelling, Measurement and Monitoring” (2010-1012), and in the GEF/UNEP Project (GFL/2740-02-4381) “Assessment of soil organic carbon stocks and change at national scale: Jordan, Brazil, India and Kenya” (2002-2005).
