Curriculum Vitae
Gonzalo Irisarri

I focus my interest on rangeland ecology, emphasizing understanding energy transfer within grazing systems. To conduct my research, I use satellite data to estimate aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and its quality. As part of my investigations, I enjoy developing apps that are accessible to everyone, which helps me better understand variations in ANPP and its quality. For example, . Another approach is providing eight-day estimates of crude protein content (CP%). Crude protein is a key determinant of individual intake. For instance, .

International activities

I have developed much of my academic career studying arid and semi-arid grazing systems in South America, mainly in Patagonia (, ,  and ) and the central-northern United States (2016, , and ). I also have worked in one of the largest temperate grassland regions in the world, the R铆o de la Plata grasslands (, , ), and had the opportunity to work in grazing systems in the southwest of England (2024). I also collaborate with researchers in Australia to 鈥渁ssimilate鈥� satellite data into agronomic simulation models (APSIM, 2022). Through the , I participated in the development of a guide to support the .
