Spatial data analysis, drivers and consequences of regional economic disruptions and land-use planning
Andrea is a PhD student at CSRM. Her PhD project aims to design an assessment framework for post-mined land-use determination to provide experts and stakeholders with a tool to support post-closure decisions processes. The framework considers environmental, socio-economic, and technical criteria that are analysed using Spatial Analysis and a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making methodology. The implications of Andrea’s research can significantly contribute mine closure planning in various mining-dependant regions. She is currently undertaking her research under the supervision of Dr Éléonore Lèbre, Professor Claire Côte, Professor Peter Knights and Dr Kamila Svobodova.
Andrea has a Forestry Engineering degree from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and has work experience in Australia, the United States and Chile.
