Anderson Ruhoff holds a Ph.D. in Water Resources from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). He has a master’s degree in Remote Sensing and a bachelor’s degree in Geography from the Federal University of Santa Maria. Currently, he is an associate professor at the Institute of Hydraulic Research (IPH) at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), teaching Hydro meteorology and Climatology for Environmental Engineering and Water Engineering courses. He has worked as an associate researcher at the University of Exeter (UK) and collaborated with the Environmental Change Institute (ECI) at the University of Oxford (UK) and the Cooperative Remote Sensing Science and Technology Centre (NOAA/CREST) at the University of New York (USA). He has collaborated with NASA on research projects for the Earth Observing System (EOS) program for global evapotranspiration estimates (MOD16) using MODIS sensor images. His expertise lies in remote sensing applied to hydrology, focusing on evapotranspiration estimation and monitoring, surface energy fluxes, carbon fluxes, soil moisture, drought monitoring, and land use and land cover dynamics.
