E (Eliana) de Souza, PhD

Eliana first came to ISRIC in 2012 to work on her PhD (Fed. University of Viçosa) on “digital soil mapping” and to acquire experience in producing soil property and class maps with special attention for the Rio Doce Basin, Minas Gerais. Her stay was funded by the Brazilian CAPES foundation.

After having obtained her Doctorate, Eliana returned to ISRIC as a guest researcher (2013-2015) for further research on ‘Pedometric Mapping for Brazil’.

During her succesive stays at ISRIC, Eliana was advised by several staff members including Tom Hengl, Bas Kempen, Gerard Heuvelink and Niels Batjes.
