Roberto Cazzolla Gatti studies global forest ecology and biodiversity, combining large-scale field data, remote sensing, and machine learning to map traits like tree diameter, wood density, and canopy height across the world's forests. His work also extends to biodiversity monitoring and conservation planning, including Key Biodiversity Areas, protected-area networks, and the effects of human pressures (including war and pollution) on ecosystems and wildlife. This research is relevant for students interested in large-scale ecological data analysis, conservation science, and the application of computational tools to environmental problems.
