About Rafael Brown
Forest Engineer (Ph.D.) with over 10 years of experience in forest operations, biomass quantification, and carbon-focused initiatives in tropical ecosystems. I specialize in forest carbon accounting (AFOLU/REDD+), biomass estimation, and sustainable forest management, integrating field data with quantitative modeling to support climate-oriented decision-making. My work bridges operational forest practices, restoration strategies and analytical tools to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact and strengthen the technical robustness of carbon projects. With hands-on experience in the Amazon and applied research in the United States, I combine field-based knowledge with statistical and simulation approaches to assess forest logistics, carbon stocks, and management scenarios. I am particularly interested in roles and collaborations related to nature-based solutions, forest carbon markets, climate mitigation strategies, and sustainable forest finance, where technical rigor and operational feasibility must work together.
