Ivone Martins
PhD Student
I graduated in Environmental Engineering (2009, IPVC) and I obtained a Master’s degree in Environmental Management and Land Use Planning (2012, IPVC). Since then, I attended several training courses to strengthen my knowledge and skills in geographic information science and technologies (GIS&T), namely in data and metadata collection and modelling applied in socio-environmental issues.
During the last 10years, I participated in several projects in Research, Development and Innovation (R&D+i) at the Geoinformatics and Environmental Systems Analysis Research Unit (CIGESA-IPVC) and at CIBIO-InBIO-UP, including: thematic and institutional GIS/SDI development initiatives; biodiversity and ecosystem services modelling, monitoring and information systems; and socio-environmental systems analysis and management.
Currently I am enrolled in the BIODIV (Biodiversity, Genetics and Evolution) PhD program at the University of Porto, and in my thesis I will be focusing in data and metadata quality assessment and management applied to socio-environmental system (SES) modelling.
