Machado – School of Medicine and Public Health – UFMG, Brazil; Prof. Pamila L. C. Siviero – School of Actuarial Sciences – UFLA, Brazil; Prof. Mario M. Rodarte – Department. of Economics – UFMG, Brazil; Grad. Student Julimar Pinto – Department of Demography – UFMG, Brazil) and is focus on the empirical use of the GoM model for the social and health sciences. The book includes the programs for Windows, Linux, Stata, and R, in addition to an introduction to the theoretical method, and partical guides on how to manage results for publication. The book was published under the Population & Economics Series – Cedeplar/UFMG, by UFMG University Press.

1) Prof. Guedes received funding from the Brazilian National Research Council (CNPq) and the Minas Gerais Research Funding Agency (FAPEMIG) for a project entitled: “Demography of Exception: Reproductive Intentions and Migration in a context of Zika Outbreak and Socioenvironmental Disasters“, in collaboration with colleagues from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (Prof. Alisson Barbieri and Raquel Zanatta – Demography Dept., Profs. Dimitri Fazito and Marden Campos – Sociology Dept.) and University of Texas at Austin (Prof. Letícia Marteleto – Sociology Dept.).

2) Prof. Guedes is currently the PI of a large project, funded by the United Nations Fund for Population Affairs (UNFPA) and the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment (MMA), entitled: “Population Dynamics and Its Implication for the Agenda of Sustainable Development“. The project involves five main themes: (1) socioenvironmental profiles of the Brazilian municipalities; (2) a demand model for sustainable consumption in Brazil; (3) urban expansion and its overlap with environmentally sensitive areas; (4) the socio-spatial dynamics of metropolitan slams and protected areas in Brazil; (5) the regional and national climate impacts on the economy through shocks in agricultural and labor productivity. The project envolves researchers from 5 universities and more than 30 researchers, from undergrads, to PostDocs, to professors.

3) Prof. Guedes is co-PI on the InterAmerican Institute (IAI-NSF) funded project LUCIA (Land Use, Climate and Infection Diseases in Western Amazonia). The 5-years project involves colleagues from UFMG (Alisson Barbieri, PI; Laura Wong, co-PI) and other institutions: Fiocruz (Ulisses Confalonieri); Duke University, USA (William Pan); Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Ecuador (Carlos Mena); and Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Peru (Alejandro Llanos Cuenta; Jaime Miranda). The project uses the social-ecological systems approach to understand the relationships between population changes, LULCC, climate change and infection disease transmission in three Amazonian sites: Machadinho, Rondônia (Brazil), Madre de Dios and Loreto (Peru), and the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon. The project combines data on climate, vectors, and social surveys, and intends to apply the Agent-Base Modeling approach to identifying emerging properties of the SES in the Amazon under climate stress.
