Florencia Sangermano is a geographer specialized in geographic information science (GIS), remote sensing, landscape ecology, and ecoacoustics applied to conservation. Her research focuses on climate and land cover change impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity through the lens of geospatial analysis, with the objective of supporting conservation planning and ecosystem management.
Her current research evaluates the impact of deforestation, fragmentation, and forest regeneration on zoonotic spillover risk in the Brazilian Atlantic forest, and on the use of soundscapes to monitor habitat health.
I earned a B.Sc./M.Sc. equivalent (Licenciatura) in Biology from Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina, where I worked in the field of Geoecology; and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Geography from Clark University.
