Dr Camila Silva is a forest engineer specialised in forest carbon stocks. She applies ground observations and remote sensing data to her research, with particular focus on risk assessment of over-crediting and permanence of carbon projects. Her dissertation research quantified the long-term carbon emissions from forest fires in the Brazilian Amazon.

Camila leads the SEEG FIRE project from the Climate Observatory, quantifying GHG emissions from vegetation fires. She is also member of the scientific advisory team of TREES Lab at INPE.
