Sergio Noce is a biogeographer and senior research associate with over 20 years of experience in geospatial data analysis and species distribution modeling. His research focuses on biodiversity, forest ecosystems, forest biodiversity, and land-use change. He applies a combination of GIS, remote sensing, statistical models, and artificial intelligence techniques to better understand how environmental dynamics develop and change under both current and future climate scenarios.
His work investigates the impacts of climate change on species distribution, ecosystem functions, and the resilience of forest communities facing environmental shifts. He has published extensively on topics such as climate adaptation, bioclimatic indicators, ecosystem vulnerability, and forest biodiversity. Some of his important studies examine altitudinal shifts of forest species, the effects of drought on global crop losses, and spatial models of land-use change.
In addition, he co-authored a widely used global dataset of bioclimatic indicators that supports climate research worldwide. He has also contributed to recent editions of the Global Methane Budget, helping to improve knowledge of methane emissions and their broader implications for climate change.
