Dr. Leonardo Nogueira de Moraes is an Education Fellow in Environmental Planning at the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning and a Research Fellow in Disaster Resilience at RMIT University’s Centre for Urban Research. He specializes in sustainability, disaster resilience, and climate adaptation, with a focus on urban systems and planning processes. His research explores how formal and informal planning processes inform resilience-building to disasters and climate change, emphasizing roles of regulation, self-organization, and connectivity. He also investigates the use of drone imagery and social media in citizen science to enhance adaptation through nature-based solutions.
