Mr. Thyago Lima | Remote Sensing | Research Excellence Award

Mr. Thyago Anthony Soares Lima is a geographer and disaster-risk analyst specializing in remote sensing, InSAR, and multi-hazard urban risk assessment. His research focuses on characterizing ground deformation, identifying subsidence typologies, and integrating geological, geomorphological, and geospatial data to strengthen urban resilience. He develops workflows that link land subsidence with flooding, erosion, and slope-instability risks, enabling evidence-based planning for hazard-prone regions. His work bridges geoscience and public decision-making by producing operational subsidence and hazard maps used by civil-defense agencies, planners, and environmental managers. His contributions advance sustainable territorial management and innovative methodologies in geoinformatics and environmental hazard analysis.
