Paulo Hader

I am PhD Researcher at the University of Granada, Spain, working on early warning systems and climate change impact on natural hazards. Alongside my research, I work as a GIS Engineer in industry, modelling natural hazards and climate change. My passion about geoscience led me to develop a research project focusing on landslide risk assessment using AI, culminating in my MSc in Civil and Environmental Engineering at São Paulo State University, Brazil, in 2021. Additionally, I strongly advocate for scientific communication across diverse audiences, believing it can greatly benefit society in our geologically active world. For this reason in 2020, I joined the EGU early career scientists team of the natural hazards division, and since I have collaborated in various initiatives.
