About
Liliana Freitas is a geoscientist whose research focuses on the intersection of geospatial technologies, geomorphology, and geoheritage. Her major contributions lie in the application of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and LiDAR-based mapping to document and analyze complex terrains, particularly in rock quarry environments and geomining heritage sites. By coupling high-resolution remote sensing with GIS geovisualisation techniques, she has advanced methodological frameworks for capturing, modeling, and interpreting anthropogenic and natural landforms. Her most-cited work, "Methodological insights from unmanned system technologies in a rock quarry environment and geomining heritage site" (2023), demonstrates how these integrated approaches can reveal hidden stratigraphic details and support sustainable management of industrial landscapes. Though early in her career, her contributions are shaping how researchers and practitioners approach digital documentation of heritage sites, blending geoscience with conservation. Freitas’s work is notable for its practical applications in environmental monitoring and cultural heritage preservation, offering a replicable model for studying other degraded or inaccessible terrains. Her research underscores the value of innovative geospatial tools in bridging the gap between geological processes and human impact.
