Carles Batlles Climent
Graduated in Biology from the University of Barcelona in 2004, specializing in botany and Geographical Information Systems (GIS), I carried out various tasks as a technician in various public and…
I started as a field and GIS technician in the development of forest inventories and the coordination of field teams linked to the Inventory of Singular Forests of Catalonia (IBSC 2007-2010) project. This task was continued and expanded to more physiological studies of trees within the FUN2FUN project.
Later, expanding knowledge in the management of large databases, bibliographic research, and integration of these into GIS (PostGreSQL, PostGis, Github, and R) to capture and evaluate forest masses in large territorial extensions from the regional level (project Carbostock, Network of Forests in Natural Dynamics) to the state level (Life Redbosques and Life Redbosques-Clima) and cross-border (Poctefa-Conectfor).
In parallel, I specialized in spatial analysis using LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, which I applied in various projects such as Life DEMORGEST, Life BIORGEST, and Poctefa-CONECTOR, among others. Also developing together with the ICGC (Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia) the "Maps of the biophysical variables of Catalonia" for the years 2010 and 2016.
Currently, I participate in various projects focused on forest management towards forest maturity and climate change resilience (Life Redbosques Clima, Green-Risk) as well as in the evaluation of the conservation status and possible adaptive responses for decision-making (Life UNCINATA).
