Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolLeandro Biondo is a PhD candidate in Sustainability at UBC Okanagan and a 12-year geospatial professional who builds tools that connect remote sensing, spatial databases and policy analysis. He develops an open-source PosGIS + Python raster processing pipeline and interactive geoportals—work already being piloted in the UBC/CAAF climate modeling dashboard and an emissions portal. His research examines forestry policy and historical land-use contrasts around Indigenous reserves in Brazil, combining satellite imagery with LLM-assisted result interpretation. As founder of Uma Terra Geo and a volunteer GIS consultant, he translates large public datasets into AI-supported interactive maps for researchers and stakeholders. Formerly a lead spatial-data manager for Brazil’s federal forest services and a biodiversity project supervisor, he brings rare operational depth across field programs, institutional IT and geospatial software. He pairs meteorology and forest sciences training with a practical habit of sharing knowledge (including Portuguese tutorials), making complex environmental data more transparent and usable.
