Adriana is a forest ecologist from Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. She is a PhD student at the National Institute of Amazonian Research, and is currently focused on the dynamics of tree gaps over five years using drone RGB imagery of a 50-ha area and their relationship with biomass/carbon turnover. Additionally, she detects seasonal changes in leaf color by classifying drone images into leaf-phenology classes. She is an expert in machine learning and in the application of RGB and multispectral images to the study of Amazon forest dynamics. Her role on the team focuses on the trees database used for AI training and local logistical support.
