Carlos Giménez

Director – Remote Sensing Scientist

Carlos is an Environmental Engineer with a deep background in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing. His career has focused on applying these technologies to conservation and sustainable natural resource management projects with a notable international scope.

His primary area of expertise is processing and analyzing remote sensing data for forest monitoring. He has played a key role in national and international projects to generate activity data, which is fundamental for the Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) framework for Paraguay’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). He has also contributed to projects for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) and Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR) in countries such as Brazil, Panama, Nicaragua, Ghana, and Indonesia.

Driven by his passion for biodiversity conservation and climate justice, Carlos has developed a comprehensive skill set. His experience ranges from field data design and collection (forest inventories, forest carbon accounting, biodiversity surveys) to the statistical analysis of massive spatial databases.

Furthermore, he is a passionate programmer and a strong advocate for free and open-source software. He specializes in using R, Python, and JavaScript for data science and is an advanced user of the QGIS project, tools he leverages to enhance research and the effectiveness of his analyses.
