Captured today: a fallstreak hole, formed when supercooled droplets suddenly freeze within a cloud layer.
A striking example of atmospheric microphysics relevant to climatology and physical geography.

Presented my research on Portuguese border regions at the XV Geography Congress. Strong debate on socio-spatial inequalities, cross-border governance and INTERREG/POCTEP.
Grateful for the engagement and insights.

See you in Évora this November! My abstract “Border regions in Portugal: spatial inequalities and contributions to a propositional geography” was accepted without revisions for the XV Portuguese Geography Congress (Nov 19–21, 2025).

Day 1 of the 21st ESP Congress in 376 photos (1.7 GB)! A tiny tech hiccup held them back today, but they’ll be online shortly. Moments, smiles, science, all captured!

Last day of the 21st ESP Congress.
That bittersweet feeling already arrives as we part from colleagues and friends. Closing with an inspiring Keynote by Prof. Franz Trautinger “Photodermatology – Quo Vadis?” Knowing the past is essential to shaping the future.

In Portugal’s low-density areas, the 39 border municipalities with Spain are often overlooked. For me, they will be a true research treasure: peripheries that may become central to rethinking territorial cohesion.

At Fórum de Políticas Públicas 2025, Renato Miguel do Carmo brilliantly addressed socio-territorial inequalities and the persistence of dualisms in Portugal. The emergence of a “third spatiality” calls for smarter, fairer public action.

At Fórum de Políticas Públicas 2025, powerful reflections on local governance, decentralization & housing. A key moment to rethink public action & territorial cohesion in Portugal.

After the talks, the debate opened to the floor. Crossed ideas, launched doubts, thoughtful silences. BEIRA OUTONO ends as any space of reflection should: with questions that remain and calls for action — from inertia to assertive political engagement at all levels.

At the School of Health in Viseu, Miguel Poiares Maduro opened the BEIRA Observatory conference with a brilliant talk. Democracy, ideologies, and populism at the core. When politics fails to represent, populism fills the gap.
