Araújo Alessandro C

Alessandro de Araujo received the bachelor's degree in nautical science from the Admiral Braz de Aguiar Instruction Center, in 1993, followed by a degree in agronomy from the Federal Rural University of Amazonia, Belém, Brazil, in 1999, the M.Sc. degree in geoenvironmental sciences and the Ph.D. degree in geoenvironmental sciences from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 2004 and 2009, respectively. He is a highly accomplished scientist with extensive expertise in geosciences and a particular focus on micrometeorology of forest and agricultural ecosystems in the Amazon biome. His research encompasses a wide range of topics including environmental biophysics of primary and secondary forest ecosystems, environmental biophysics of agricultural ecosystems in monocultures and agroforestry systems, mass and energy fluxes at the biosphere-atmosphere interface using the eddy covariance technique, and the utilization of stable carbon isotopes to assist in understanding processes in forest ecosystems.
