Gabriel is a Ph.D. Candidate in Geography at the University of Florida. With a B.Sc. in Biology and an M.Sc. in Ecology, Gabriel has been researching human-environment interactions in Brazil and Africa’s tropical forests since 2004. As an Associate Senior Researcher at the Institute for Conservation and Sustainable Development of the Amazon (IDESAM), Gabriel has led many initiatives and projects that combined conservation, community development, and rural production in the past 12 years.
Gabriel’s research includes themes of forest monitoring, land-use change, agricultural supply chains, and, more recently, frontier heterogeneity, development processes, and land appropriation in the Amazon basin. His work is interdisciplinary and often involves concepts of Geography, Ecology, Forestry, and Agronomy.
