Resumo Biográfico

Antonio T. Monteiro é investigador júnior do Centro de Estudos Geográficos e do núcleo de investigação Modelação, Ordenamento e Planeamento Territorial (MOPT). O seu interesse centra-se na monitorização e modelação do impacto ambiental das alterações antrópicas nos sistemas montanhosos, e a sua interação com as politicas de conservação/desenvolvimento e alterações climáticas. A combinação de deteção remota com modelação estatística tem sido a abordagem mais utilizada. As imagens de satélite dos sensores Landsat, Sentinel-2 e Worldview-2 foram fonte de dados mais comum.

O trabalho mais recente contribuiu para melhorar o conhecimento nos sistemas pastorais de montanha:

a) compreendeu-se o progresso efetuado na conservação das pastagens de montanha na Península Ibérica e o seu alinhamento com os objetivos da politica europeia de conservação europeia e a Agenda Aichi2020. Utilizou-se imagens Landsat e uma abordagem de classificação ensemble com base em algoritmos de inteligência artificial para identificar as alterações na cobertura de pastagens e a incerteza na trajetória e no espaço.

b) avaliou-se o potencial de modelos estatísticos forçados com variáveis alimentadas por dados do satélite europeu Sentinel-2 para a monitorização espacial da biodiversidade em pastagens.

Os resultados da sua investigação nas áreas de montanha portuguesas foram exibidos no parlamento Europeu entre 8-12 de Janeiro de 2018 na exposição ‘SPACED – protecting natural landscapes from above’ (https://news.grida.no/spaced-protecting-natural-landscapes-from-above) e cobertos pelo Copernicus Magazine da Agência Espacial Europeia em 2019 ‘Copernicus Sentinel-2 helps to safeguard mountain pastoral systems’ (https://sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/success-stories/-/copernicus-sentinel-2-helps-to-safeguard-mountain-pastoral-systems)

Foi investigador postdoc no CIBIO-InBIO entre Junho 2013 – Dezembro 2018; investigador júnior em Itália no Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change (CMCC) e Università Degli Studi di Sassari (UNISS); investigador convidado na University Technology of Sydney- Plant Functional Biology and Climate Change Cluster (Australia).
