Julio Cesar Contreras Huerta
Profile
Geographical engineer from Lima, Peru and PhD student at the Universitat de València. I started in Peru making maps and geographic data for environmental studies; then came Andes DataCube and CloudSEN12+. Now I work on one simple idea: satellite data that gets used. I clean clouds, improve resolution, compress and package data, and use it to look at water, glaciers and methane.
