Pinto, P.; Oliveira-Junior, J.M.B; Leitão, F.; Morais, M. M.; Chicharo, L.; Vaz, S. Delgado; Voreadou, .C.; Morales, E. A.; Teodósio, M. A.Citizen science activities, involving local people in volunteer-supported and sustainable monitoring programs, are common. In this context, the objective of the present work was to develop a simple Metric of Aquatic Invertebrates for Volunteers (MAIV), including a user-friendly tool that can be easily accessed by volunteers, and to evaluate the efficiency of a volunteer monitoring program following an audit pro...
A predictive modelling tool for assessing climate, land use and hydrological ch...
Samantha, J. H; Cabecinha, E; Andrade dos Santos, J.C.; Mendes Lopes, D.M.; da Fonseca Trindade, H.M.; dos Santos Cabral, J. A. F. A.Reservoirs are fundamental for water and energy supply but vulnerable to impacts including climate change. This paper outlines the steps in the development of a model to predict how climate, land use and hydrological change could affect the physiochemical and ecological quality of reservoirs in Portugal’s Douro region. Climatic data will be downscaled for subsequent finer spatial scale models to develop scenari...
