OCOD-TSA research project aims at improving our understanding of the mechanisms underlying Tropical and South Atlantic Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) low frequency variability and sensitivity to natural (i.e. solar, orbital, volcanoes) and anthropogenic forcings (i.e. greenhouse gases) and its influence on hydro-climates of surrounding regions. Tropical and South Atlantic SST may have va…
Antarctica remains one of the Earth's regions least affected by human activity. However, the Antarctic Peninsula Region (APR), which encompasses the Peninsula, South Shetland Islands, and South Orkney Islands, faces increasing pressure from biological invasions. Its biota, shaped by long evolutionary isolation, is characterized by low diversity, high endemism and limited ecological redund…

Termites (Blattodea: Isoptera) are eusocial insects that play a fundamental ecological role by actively contributing to the carbon cycle through the decomposition of lignocellulose in plant substrates. The digestion of this material is a complex process mediated by symbionts present in the termite gut microbiota, which are also associated with the nests, as fecal material mixed with saliv…
The work plan presents Ryan Nascimento Silva's activities during his internship with the Aristides Pacheco Leão Program for the Promotion of Scientific Vocations - 2025/2026 (PAPL-EVC). Over the course of 50 days at the host institution, he will support contact with Indigenous communicators identified through Instagram mapping and analyze their content. He will also conduct a documentary …
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic waste is a promising technology for the production of biogas, composed primarily of methane (CH¿) and carbon dioxide (CO¿). This work aims to investigate the application of biopolymeric membranes, specifically cellulose acetate, in the purification of biogas generated in 4.2 L anaerobic reactors. The focus is on capturing biogenic CO¿, aiming to reclaim…

The intensification of climate change may exacerbate two major abiotic stressors for plants: drought and air pollution. These factors directly affect plant physiological performance and can induce significant adjustments in primary metabolism and the emission of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). Casearia sylvestris Sw. (Salicaceae), a native species of the Atlantic Forest, has …
Coral reefs are recognized as the most biodiverse marine ecosystems on the planet, yet they are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic disturbances. Globally, coral species are subjected to multiple environmental stressors that may result in bleaching, with ocean acidification and global warming, both direct consequences of contemporary climate change, being among the most critical. Bra…

Change detection is an important task performed in remote sensing image that allows researchers and engineers to identify and evaluate modifications on land surfacescaptured by multi-temporal satellite images. Analyzing problems such as deforestation(Barreto et al., 2016), rapid urbanization (Ban and Yousif, 2012) and glacier melting(Scher et al., 2021) are of great importance to study th…
Climate change influences plant development, driving phenotypic modifications in plants through secondary metabolite pathways, particularly anthocyanin biosynthesis underlying adaptive coloration and defense. Promiscuous enzymes in the anthocyanin pathway produce diverse pigments whose profiles are shaped by enzyme competition within the flavonoid network. This diversity is finely regulat…
Climate change poses a major challenge to livestock production, particularly due to its direct impacts on bovine reproduction. Heat stress is closely associated with reduced fertility in bulls, being linked to increased production of reactive oxygen species, impaired spermatogenesis, decreased sperm motility, loss of membrane integrity, and increased sperm DNA fragmentation. Extracellular…

Climate models simulations project an increased frequency of climate extremes in Southeastern South America (SESA) in future scenarios. The rainfall extremes that affect the SESA occur more frequently during El Niño phases. In future projections, El Niño will be more intense and may influence the intensity of the extremes in SESA. However, the relationship between El Niño Southern Oscilla…
This BEPE research project investigates how alternative credit rating agencies (CRAs) are engaging with the challenges posed by the climate and environmental crises. While the Big Three CRAs (S&P, Moody's, and Fitch) have incorporated environmental and climate-related risks into their methodologies primarily through the lens of financial materiality, little attention has been given to how…
Livestock farming is one of the primary sectors responsible for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly enteric methane and nitrous oxide from manure management and urine deposition in the soil. Given the growing global demand for meat and animal products, there is an urgent need to discuss the environmental impacts of the activity and seek sustainable alternatives. Dairy cattle, in …

The tropical Atlantic Ocean stands out due to its distinct patterns of oceanic and atmospheric circulation, including the influence of the South Equatorial Current (SEC) and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Processes related to the circulation of the subtropical gyre and ocean-atmosphere interactions make this region particularly relevant for investigations involving inter-hemis…
Antarctica, which contains approximately 90% of the planet's ice, is experiencing major environmental changes caused by climate change. One of the most clear impacts is glacier retreat, especially in vulnerable regions such as the Antarctic Peninsula. This retreat affects marine benthic communities, particularly in shallow waters, by changing environmental conditions and exposing new subs…
This project proposes a technical and economic feasibility study to produce biodiesel using a heterogeneous catalyst in remote communities in the Canadian Arctic, a context that faces logistical and energy security challenges.
