Manuel Almeida

Manuel Almeida is a senior researcher at the MARE Research Center affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Technology at NOVA University of Lisbon. His work focuses on water resources and sustainability, leveraging mathematical models to analyze reservoir and lake systems.

• Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Engineering
• Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering
• Master's Degree in Sustainable Urbanism and Spatial Planning
• PhD in Environment (NOVA University of Lisbon, 2014)
• PhD in Climate Change and Sustainable Development Policies
• PhD in E-Planning

His research addresses critical issues in climate change impacts on aquatic systems, phosphorus pollution, and eutrophication. He specializes in integrating models like CE-QUAL-W2 and SWAT for water quality simulations, particularly in data-scarce environments. Recent publications highlight his focus on heatwave effects on reservoirs and machine learning applications for pollutant prediction.

Almeida contributes to environmental networks such as the Environment and Sustainability Center and the Network of Environmental Studies of Portuguese Speaking Countries. He is also involved in projects like the TIDE Connection to Society and collaborates with the Ecozoic - Junior Company.
