Thales Vaz Penha (2018)
Thales is a Bachelor in Geography from Fluminense Federal University (UFF), Brazil. He holds a Master degree in Remote Sensing from National Institute for Space Research (INPE), Brazil, in 2018. In his Master's thesis he studied burned areas mapping in Amazonia, based on medium resolution satellite images, spectral indices, Geographical Object-based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) and data mining techniques as a support to refine this phenomenon detection. Currently, he is working with the assessment of different fires and burned areas products derived from MODIS data in Amazonia forest areas, under the supervision of Dr. Liana O. Anderson.
His research interests includes the application of GIS and Remote Sensing methods for vegetation disturbs mapping, focusing on forest fires and burned areas mapping, Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) analysis, change detection mapping and spatial analysis.
