Dr. Andressa Mansur
Research interests:
I am interested in thematic areas of vulnerability and risk of socio-ecological systems, urban sustainability, coastal management including social and environmental problems in coastal regions, socio-environmental changes in deltas and estuaries, environmental conservation and sustainable water resources management including water quality and risk assessments. Despite being trained as an Oceanographer, I like to describe myself as a socio-ecological researcher particularly interested for interdisciplinary research.
My current post-doc at UGA is for the support of the project Network for Engineering with Nature (N-EWN), in particular the Integrating People and Policy project component. In this project component, we will investigate and understand how natural infrastructure relates to risk perceptions, and how social contracts relating to environmental risks and benefits have changed over time, will continue to change under nonstationary climates, and may change with implementation of Nature-Based Solutions.
My previous post-doc at the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) focused on research and environmental policy guidance related to urban sustainability, understanding the impacts of urban growth on biodiversity and human well-being, this position was associated with the sDiv working group sUrBio2050. My PhD research focused on socio-ecological vulnerability and adaptation to floods in the urban Amazon Delta region. I remain active in both fields and cherish the opportunity to work together in these topics and in collaboration with colleagues in Brazil.
