He was the Chairman of the Organizing Commission and of the Scientific Committee of the II International Symposium of Present Paths for Cartography in Geography &#8211; 2nd CARTOGEO, which has taken place at the Department of Geography of the University of S\u00e3o Paulo in 2010. He has training and experience in Cartography, with emphasis on Urban Geography, and has worked mainly on the following subjects: geoinformatics, digital cartography, geographic information systems, spatial analysis, remote sensing, and practical uses of Geographic Information Technologies in social topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abstract:<br>\nThe Len\u00e7\u00f3is Maranhenses region, located on the eastern coast of Maranh\u00e3o in northeastern Brazil, has unique and diverse natural characteristics. The most representative landscapes of the region consist of diverse and fragile ecosystems, such as the restinga, the mangrove swamp, and a dune field that covers more than 126,000 hectares in addition to their scenic beauty, the Len\u00e7\u00f3is Maranhenses are home to traditional communities, such as fishers, whose cultural traditions are intrinsically linked to the land and waters that surround them. Len\u00e7\u00f3is Maranhenses has long attracted attention for being a region of extreme contrasts, not only from a physical, geographical, and climatic point of view but also due to its social conflicts and ongoing conservation challenges. The search for sustainability is a fundamental principle, recognizing that the preservation of this delicate ecosystem is essential for the continued environmental, social, and economic balance of the region. The aim of the Cybercartographic Atlas of Len\u00e7\u00f3is Maranhenses (a joint effort with Carleton University) is to better understand and support the preservation of this region through participatory engagement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[],"cu_event_audience":[24],"class_list":["post-30486","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry","cu_event_audience-carleton-community"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2024-05-15T14:30:00","cu_event_end_date":"2024-05-15T16:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"LA","cu_event_meeting_room":"A220","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/30486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/30486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30493,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/30486\/revisions\/30493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=30486"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=30486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
