Postgraduate Programme in Civil Engineering (PEC)

Dr. Ricardo Guimarães Andrade

e-mail: ricardo.andrade@embrapa.br

Graduated in Agricultural Engineering and Master’s and Doctorate in Agricultural Meteorology, all from the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV). I am a researcher at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) and I work as a collaborating professor at the postgraduate program in civil engineering at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF). In research, I have experience in agrometeorology, agricultural climatology, remote sensing, geoprocessing, water resources and the environment.
