Sou membro da Tropical Water Research Alliance: TWRA uma Aliança entre Brasil e Austrália na busca de soluções aos problemas relacionados à água em ecossistemas tropicais . Possuo parcerias internacionais com o Instituto Politécnico de Bragança em Portugal, com a L'Unité Écologie et Dynamique des Systèmes Anthropisés da UPJV em Amiens e com o Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) L'Unité Evolution & Diversité Biologique, Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse na França e com Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture Mississippi State University USA. Sou revisor Ad hoc da Ambio: A Journal of the Human Environment - Springer, PLOS ONE, Trends in Ecology and Evolution, Acta Scientiarum. Technology, Sustainability, ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, Geosciences e outras revistas brasileiras. Eu tenho experiência na área de Geociências e Ecologia da Paisagem com artigos nacionais e internacionais publicados nesta área. Atualmente meus interesses são em ecologia da paisagem, uso e ocupação da terra, política e áreas protegidas, fragmentação de habitats, degradação de ambientes aquáticos e seu entorno, geoinformação, análise espacial de padrões ambientais e da biodiversidade e ecologia e dinâmica de ecossistemas antropizados.
