Rossana Estanqueiro is a Geographer. Graduated in Geography and Regional Planning (2002), Master in Territorial Management (2007) and PhD in Geography and Territorial Planning, specialization area in Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (2012). Researcher integrated in History, Territories and Communities NOVA FCSH Hub of the CFE - CENTRE FOR FUNCTIONAL ECOLOGY - Science for People & the Planet, Associate Laboratory TERRA of the Faculty of Science and Technology of University of Coimbra (since March 2022) and also researcher collaborator in CICS.NOVA Interdisciplinary Center for Social Sciences of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa. Between 2016 and 2020 was Coordinator of the Research Team (RT): Geographic Modelling, Remote Sensing and Data Infrastructures, integrated in Research Group(RG4): Socio-Spatial Modelling and Planning of the CICS.NOVA, and also representative member of the RG4 in the dynamic committee of the CICS.NOVA Ideas Laboratory. Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Regional Planning (DGPR) of NOVA FCSH, where since 2012 she teaches aggregate subjects in the area of geographic analysis, Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems for territorial and urban planning, and since 2017 is the Departmental Mobility Coordinator (ERASMUS +) of the DGPR (NOVA FCSH).

The coordination of my academic objectives has been guided by the training, research and teaching of a theoretical and methodological matrix oriented towards the problematization and conceptualization in Geography and Spatial Planning, using Remote Sensing, Digital Image Processing, Geographic Information Systems , Spatial Analysis and Modeling, Statistics and Geographic Information. The most recent research interests focus on the operationalization of Spatial Planning concepts in Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems, focusing on the spatial analysis of geographic forms and processes.
