Scientific Interests
Main Interests:
Since 2013, Sílvia Nunes has been working at Instituto Dom Luis (IDL) as a Predoctoral Researcher within the framework of the Land Surface Analysis Satellite Application Facility (LSA SAF), an R&D and operational project that is part of the decentralized Ground Segment of EUMETSAT (http://landsaf.meteo.pt). She is currently validating the LSA SAF Fire Detection and Monitoring (FD&M) product over Europe, Africa and South America.
Sílvia Nunes’ research interests are on the relationship of the fire regime in Portugal with meteorological conditions and with vegetation stress and available biomass in the pre-fire season.
