Biography

Rodrigo Bravo Herrera. Agricultural Engineer, Bachelor of Agricultural Sciences. Master in economics and regional management. Dr. in Agricultural Sciences at the Universidad Austral de Chile, Researcher at the Agricultural Research Institute (INIA) at the Remehue Regional Research Center in southern Chile.He is uncharged of INIA Agrometeorological Network that provides information coverage with 170 weather stations in real time (agrometeorologia.cl). The INIA network is part of the Basic Observation Network for the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and for Chile's National Agrometeorological Network.

He has worked on validating the late blight forecast model, and on the subsequent development of the warning system, that uses information technologies to process weather data in real time to advice potato producers in southern Chile (tizon.inia.cl). He has also worked on the development of other alert system to prevent problems in agriculture, resulting from weather phenomena such as frost, weather conditions for animal welfare, tomato diseases and evapotranspiration.

The focus of his work has been to generate added value to the meteorological data to support the decision-making of agro producers and professionals. All his work as lieder or co-researcher are publish as new web systems, dissemination material and publications.
