About

Sérgio Godinho is a Research Scientist in Environmental Remote Sensing Applications. He completed the PhD in Interdisciplinary Landscape Managment in 2015, Master in Biosystems Engineering in 2011, and a 5 years degree in Biophysical Engineering in 2007 in University of Évora. He has 31 published papers (1183 citations, Hindex=18) in ISI recognized journals and 2 book chapter as a co-author. Guest editor in two special issues: International Journal of Remote Sensing (2017-18) and Remote Sensing journal (2020). He participated in 15 international scientific events, mostly related with remote sensing topics. Supervised/co-supervised 3 PhD thesis (two concluded in 2019, and 2022, and one ongoing) and 4 Master thesis (ongoing) in remote sensing field. Participated in 14 research projects (8 national and 6 international). Works in the area of Natural sciences, Earth and Environmental Sciences with emphasis on remote sensing, vegetation structure and dynamics using multispectral, SAR, and LiDAR technologies; multi-scale and multi-sensor data fusion; wildland fuel mapping; GIS Analysis; Machine learning, Biogeophysical Processes, Land Degradation, Biodiversity. Currently is an Invited Auxiliary Researcher in teh University of Évora working as a remote sensing expert. He is the PI of the project FUEL-SAT: Integration of multi-source satellite data for wildland fuel mapping: the role of RS for an effective wildfire fuel management.
