I am a Postdoctoral Fellow with Global Water Futures at the University of Saskatchewan, Centre for Hydrology, based at the Canmore Coldwater Lab. My research focuses on advancing the science and practice of ensemble hydrological forecasting. I have published my work in leading international journals, including Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, Geoscience Communication and Journal of Hydrometeorology. I am also an active member of the HEPEX global community in hydrological ensemble prediction. As an artist and scientist, I aim to further science engagement through the fusion of science and art.

Professionally I could be defined as a scientist (paleontologist and evolutionist) who started communicating science for personal pleasure and ended up as a science communication and outreach professional. The three vertices of my activity and background are 1) science research in Paleontology and Evolution, specifically in dinosaurs, and also Morphometrics applied in Health; 2) Science Communication and Informa, namely directing a Science Centre, writing texts and other contents for different media, producing and presenting a radio show, exhibits, workshops; and 3) Formal and Informal Education, supervising both students and professionals in distinct science communication activities and contributing to organized reflection on science communication. My background as a researcher (PhD in Paleontology) allows me to comprehend the processes and methods of science production. This background is a plus for any science communication professional, since it allows an “inside view” of Science and Technology. I have worked 8 years in the Natural History Museum of Portugal as well as in 15 other Natural History Museums in four continents, as a visiting researcher. In the last years I have specialized my activity in Science communication in Science Centres and Museums activities and its social intervention, namely on its role as an informal education institution. My main duties as the Lagos Science Centre Executive Director include connecting researchers with our institution, writing and managing the annual budget, planning and supervising all Science Centre activities, coordinating the team and cumulatively being the head of communication with direct responsibility of the Centre’s communication. I was the first booster of Organizing the Science Communication Congress SciCom Pt 2015 in Lagos, organized by the Lagos Science Centre. As the Chairman of this 200 people meeting I was responsible for all aspects of the organization as well as for the related scientific tasks.

I aim to gain fundamental insights into physical processes, and to probabilistically quantify hazards and risk. My geomorphological work develops algorithms and novel methods, and typically DEMs provide the primary observational constraint. With the insurance industry, my work on catastrophes aims to better understand and quantify the perils. Interests include: • Dynamics and mechanics of ice flow • Catastrophe modelling (i.e., risk, hazard and GIS) • Pacific volcanoes and deep Earth processes

My research interests lie primarily in the understanding of mountain hazards, particularly earthquakes and rockfalls, and the quantification of hazards using a variety of different techniques including remote sensing, GPS geodesy, and high precision LiDAR mapping of topography. I also work to bridge the communication gap that exists between the scientific community and the general public, especially those who live in regions of high geohazards risk exposure.

Since November 2018 I work as a Lectuer in Researcher Development. I provide opportunities to Doctoral Researcher and Early Carrer Scientist to improve their research practice. I also support established researcher through provision and support of development oppotunities. I have over 7 years geoscience laboratory and field work experience, as well as 2 years industry experience as a geologist I am well suited for the above research position. My research focuses on multi-scale geomechanics of geological systems – linking micro and macro-scale deformation features with field observations by designing laboratory experiments and combining them with analytical and numerical methods. I focus on the analysis of fracture networks and how they can be linked to porosity, permeability, and rock composition. Working with researchers from UFPE for my Newton Fund project, I started to develop methods towards definition of scalability relationships for these features to enhance geomechanical understanding and improve geological subsurface behaviour prediction models. I prefer working with heterogeneous samples since they are more representative of natural systems. Understanding these relationships at different scales in geomaterials is important to predict long-term performance of geo-systems, improve risk and uncertainty analysis, and validate modelling of multi-scale behaviour.
