Areas of Concentration: INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
For an Integrated Environmental Analysis it is important that there be the development and application of methods and analyzes aimed at the study of current natural and anthropic systems, with the objective of providing important subsidies for territorial and urban planning, public policies, programs for the recovery of degraded areas and environmental preservation, under the umbrella of sustainable development.
The systems correspond to the territorial units of analysis, which include municipalities, watersheds, conservation units, natural landscapes and/or landscapes modified by human action, among others. In these territorial units, the themes involved are multidisciplinary and cover several environmental aspects, of which the following stand out: degradation, health, education, legislation and ecosystem services.
Research lines
1. ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSFORMATIONS
This line of research corresponds to studies referring to physical, biotic and anthropological environments, with emphasis on changes in ecosystems and climate changes that occur today and over geological time. Its objective is to survey environmental changes through the application of geoprocessing techniques; limnology; and biomonitoring (for example: carbon and ozone) for diagnosing environmental impacts to be applied in environmental planning and management.
2. GOVERNANCE AND SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEVELOPMENT
This line of research is concerned with understanding environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG), along with the sustainable development goals (SDGs) for discussion and assistance in the goals to be achieved in the UN sustainable development goals 2030. Its objective is to collect statistical data and environmental indicators for action through environmental education; green marketing; and environmental law, supporting public policies and sustainable development.
