Nuno Garcia
Hello there! Welcome to my portfolio!
Here you can see my portfolio and other informations you may find interesting!
I am a biologist and GIS analyst with a strong background in geospatial data analysis, remote sensing, biodiversity modeling, and climate data analysis. Holding a BSc in Biology and an MSc in Environmental Sciences & Technology, I specialize in leveraging Earth observation and remote sensing to monitor environmental changes and assess biodiversity patterns.
At the intersection of science and technology, I use GIS, Google Earth Engine, R, Python, and other methods to analyze biodiversity trends, model climate impacts, and develop data-driven solutions for conservation and sustainable planning. Through my research and projects, I aim to bridge the gap between spatial data analysis and real-world ecological applications, contributing to informed decision-making in environmental management.
Professional Experience:
Working with GIS-based modelling, spatial data processing, and remote sensing applications to support environmental decision-making. Also, developing GIS applications using tools such as ArcGIS, R, and Python for spatial analysis and visualization.
Contributed to projects modelling biodiversity changes in Europe under climate scenarios. Developed spatial models (e.g., SDMs), applied land use spatial allocation models (e.g., CLUMondo), and conducted data analysis to assess species distribution under future climate conditions and SSP socio-economic scenarios.
Leveraging remote sensing and GIS technologies (e.g., Google Earth Engine, QGIS, etc.) alongside environmental data to advance biodiversity monitoring and support conservation strategies in Montesinho Natural Park, (Portugal).
GIS Analyst (2025 - Current Role)
Junior Researcher - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (2023–2025)
Postgraduate Student - MontObEO Research Project (2021–2023)
I excel in collaborative environments, delivering high-quality work under tight deadlines, and constantly seeking opportunities to deepen my expertise in geospatial technologies and environmental sustainability.
Outside of my professional work, I am a food enthusiast with a passion for adventure, always ready to embrace new challenges with a positive mindset! Dedicated to environmental solutions, I strive to make a meaningful impact on global sustainability!
