INTER-AMERICAN WORKSHOP ON ENVIRONMENTAL DATA ACCESS

MARINEZ F. DE SIQUEIRA

Biological Science degree from the State University of Campinas - UNICAMP (1988). MSc in Ecology from the State University of Campinas - UNICAMP (1994). Phd student in Science Environmental Engineering - University of São Paulo (USP).

Working since 1994 with on-line information system (Internet). Since 2000 working at CRIA (www.cria.org.br) as a researcher and information manager and since 2001 working with biodiversity modeling.

Current projects:

  • Global Climate Change Consequences for Cerrado Tree Species
  • Modeling of geographic distribution for species of restricted distribution
  • Use of modeling tools in biodiversity conservation
  • openModeller - a framework for biological/environmental modelling (openmodeller.cria.org.br).
