Hi, I'm Thiago Cavalcante

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Helsinki, based at the Finnish Museum of Natural History (Luomus). My research focuses on species distribution modelling (SDM), conservation biogeography, systematic conservation planning, and climate change impacts on biodiversity.

📌 Featured Project

ZonationR: An R interface to the Zonation software for reproducible spatial conservation prioritisation workflows

🛠️ Skills and Interests

Programming

  • R
  • JavaScript (Google Earth Engine)

Geospatial Tools

  • Systematic Conservation Planning (SCP) tools (e.g., Zonation, prioritizr)
  • Google Earth Engine

Statistical & Modelling Approaches

  • Species distribution modelling (SDMs)
  • Spatial conservation prioritisation
  • Generalised linear, additive, and mixed-effects models (e.g., GLMs, GAMs)
  • Machine learning
  • Multivariate analysis
  • Remote sensing

📊 Current Projects

  • NaturaConnect - Designing a resilient and coherent Trans-European Network for Nature and People
  • Overcoming data uncertainties in spatial conservation planning and decision-making
