Dr. Paulo Miguel de Bodas Terassi holds a Ph.D. in Physical Geography from the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, where he is affiliated with the Department of Geography and the Graduate Program in Physical Geography. His research lies at the intersection of climatology, hydrology, and geospatial analysis, with emphasis on climate variability and change, extreme precipitation and temperature, flood-related hazards, and hydroclimatic risk. He applies observational records, satellite estimates, atmospheric reanalyses, gridded climate datasets, climate projections, and robust statistical methods to investigate trends, abrupt changes, spatial patterns, and uncertainties in climate extremes. He currently leads a FAPESP-funded research project on climate-change scenarios and the socioeconomic impacts of extreme rainfall in the State of São Paulo. His work aims to generate scientifically rigorous and policy-relevant evidence for disaster risk reduction, water-resource management, territorial planning, and climate adaptation.
