José Pedro Ramião
Summary
I am an ecologist with expertise in fluvial biogeochemistry and GIS.
I graduated with a master in Ecology in December 2015, and since then I collaborated in research projects about the effect of land use on nutrient retention in streams, and the provisioning of ecosystem services at the sub basin scale.
My research preferences include: wetlands restoration, spatial prioritization for conserving ecosystem services (GIS analyses), cost-benefit analysis of different restoration measures, multi-criteria decision-support tools.
