Comparative study of activities in various “Extreme Environments” (polar areas, deserts, underwater activities, aeronautics, space) in various countries.
Dinis’s skills and knowledge include: Scientific exploration and industrial development projects in “Extreme Environments” (Deserts, Polar regions, Disaster areas, Sea, Oceans, Underwater activities, Aeronautics, Space). Geopolitical studies, focusing in industrial development and scientific policy. International politics. Space science, technology and policy. Marine Science. Scientific diving. Underwater robotics.
