个人简介
João Torres (M) is a Senior Researcher at ForestWISE. He obtained is PhD in 2014 - Patterns and drivers of wildfire occurrence and post-fire vegetation resilience across scales in Portugal - by the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto. In 2007 in the master in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources promoted by Cibio/UP he presented the thesis - Ensemble models of habitat suitability report chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) conservation to forest and landscape dynamics in Western Africa. He has a Degree in Biology from University of Porto (2003). He has attended and teached in several short courses regarding Geographic Information systems, Remote Sensing and ecological modelling. Published more than 15 articles in specialized magazines, in his professional activities he interacted with over 30 collaborators in co-authorship of scientific works.
During his professional evolution he dedicated himself to plant ecology, taxonomy and systematics; moving on to ecological modelling, cartography, remote sensing and fire ecology. Furthermore, in work on landscape analysis, he has proposed and successfully use a landscape metric “focal patch area standard deviation” (ASTD), a measure of statistical dispersion or heterogeneity in the sizes of focal patches. He is a regular referee for eight peer-reviewed journals (50+ assignments), he has supervised 2 master theses in Ecological modelling and mentored several degree students.
He has also collaborated with several institution e.g.: Serralves foundation, Ciência Viva, Oporto Botanical Garden, in several science communication workshops, from ethnobotanics, primate conservation, taxonomy to fire ecology.
In the 5 years before he joined ForestWISE he was responsible for data management and cartography at SPEA (birdLife International) and Science and Technology Manager at FRCT (Fundo Regional para a Ciência e Tecnologia) in Interreg and H2020 projects.
