Surveying with Geomatics and R

Marcelo de Carvalho Alves Dr. Marcelo de Carvalho Alves is associate professor at the Federal University de Lavras, Brazil. His education included graduation (2001), master (2003), doctoral in Agronomy, thesis in Crop Sciences (2006) and a Post-Doctoral in Agricultural Engineering in Federal University of Lavras, Brazil (2008). He has varied research interests and has published on surveying, remote sensing, geocomputation and agriculture applications. He has over 20 years of extensive experience in data science, digital image processing and modeling using multiscale, multidisciplinary, multispectral and multitemporal concepts applied to different environments. Experimental field-sites included a tropical forest, savanna, wetland, and agricultural fields in Brazil. His research has been predominantly funded by CNPq, CAPES, FAPEMIG and FAPEMAT. Over the years, he has built up a large portfolio of research grants mostly relating to applied and theoretical remote sensing, broadly in the context of vegetation cover, plant diseases and related impacts of climate changes. Luciana Sanches Dr. Luciana Sanches graduated in Sanitary Engineering from the Federal University of Mato Grosso (1996), master in Sanitation, Environment and Water Resources from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (1998), PhD in Road Engineering, Hydraulic Channels and Ports, Universidad de Cantabria, Spain (2002), Post-doctorate in Environmental Physics (2007) and, Post-doctorate in Environmental Sciences from the University of Reading, United Kingdom (2014). She did specialization in Workplace Safety Engineering (2018), Specialization in Project Development and Management for Municipal Water Resources Management by the National Water Agency (2018). She is currently associate professor at the Federal University of Mato Grosso, Brazil, acting in more than 20 years in research on atmosphere biosphere interaction, hydrometeorological in several temporal-spatial scales with interpretation based on in environmental modeling and remote sensing such as a support tools for results analyses. She has been applying geomatics in teaching and research activities to support the interpretation of environmental dynamics coupled to the terrain. v
