- PRODUCTION, CAPTURE, PURIFICATION AND STORAGE OF BIOGAS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF GREEN HYDROGEN, BIOMETHANE AND BIOGENIC CO2: BIOENERGY AND APPLICATIONS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY, AP.R
Abstract
The production, capture, purification and storage of biogas for the production of green hydrogen (bio_H2), biomethane (bio_CH4) and biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2), is directly related to sustainability and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as it uses organic waste. Biogas obtained from Anaerobic Digestion (AD) can be purified (Upgrading) to produce bio_H2, bio_CH4, biogenic CO2 and…
- Prospective association among metals and metalloids with chronic diseases and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality: Results form the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil), AP.TEM
Abstract
Background: The environmental RF, weather changes and global warming highlight the importance of environmental RF as new non-classical risk factors associated to chronic diseases. In older studies, metals/metalloids were evaluated in high-risk areas or in natural disaster regions. However, recently, the literature about metal/metalloids studied them as risk factors for chronic diseases in…

- Mapping and geomorphological characterization of fluvial terraces in the Upper Juruá River, southwestern Amazon: an approach based on Digital Elevation Models., BP.IC
Abstract
The Amazon rainforest, globally renowned and scientifically requested for its exuberant biodiversity, shelters the world's largest river basin. Despite the growing recognition that the fluvial dynamics of a region play an important role in landscape evolution, information about the evolution of the Amazon River basin is still scarce. The Juruá and Purus rivers, in the southwestern portion…
- The climatic impact of drought and heat waves and the perception of thermal comfort in Brazil., BP.PD
Abstract
The main goal of this project is to create extreme risk maps of the combined effect of drought-heat integrated with human perception of these events. The aim of this project is to monitor the confluence of these extremes, as it achieves extreme values synchronized, on a risk map designed in multiscale which covers Brazilian states, biomes and cities. Human perception will be incorporated …
- NARRATIVES AND SOCIAL COALITIONS IN THE TRANSITIONS TO SUSTAINABILITY IN BRAZILIAN AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS, BP.PD
Abstract
Agri-food systems are one of the main drivers of climate change, with impacts that cut across several dimensions. One third of all greenhouse gas emissions are generated by these systems. In socio-economic terms, conventional models have deepened inequalities. As for human health, the situation is paradoxical: while a third of the world's population faced some level of food insecurity in …

- Planning the use of photovoltaic panels as a resource for heat reduction in dairy cattle in an integrated pasture-based production system, BP.TT
- Smart Soil Creation from Mining and Construction Waste: A Sustainable Solution for Climate Change Mitigation, BP.TT
- Response of aquatic organisms (fish) to climate change: metabolism, bioenergetics, and comparative physiology, BP.EVC
Abstract
Climate change is an increasing concern for aquatic organisms, especially fish vital for food security. Understanding the climate impacts on commercial species, such as tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum), is crucial for their sustainability. Environmental changes can directly affect the metabolism and performance of these species, compromising productivity. This project investigates the impa…

- Genomic evaluation of heat tolerance in pigs based on reaction norm models and computer vision, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Heat stress is a critical challenge for the global swine industry, significantly impacting animal welfare, production efficiency, and reproductive performance. In addition to considerable economic losses, factors such as territorial extension and climate change accentuate the complexity of the study of heat stress in pigs, which highlights the need for approaches that incorporate aspects …
- ADVANCING ANTARCTIC ICE-FREE ZONE MAPPING: INTEGRATING DEEP LEARNING AND IN SITU VALIDATION FOR MULTI-TEMPORAL SATELLITE IMAGERY, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
This Doctoral research internship aims to significantly advance the methodology for mapping Antarctic ice-free zones, crucial indicators of climate change impact. Building on foundational work in Brazil that uses multi-temporal Landsat and Sentinel imagery and initial Machine Learning (Random Forest) classifications, this 12-month mobility period at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, se…
- Heatwaves and microplastic effects on the hypothalamic hypophyseal thyroid and immune pineal axes and the tadpole's resistance to ranavirus infection and antiviral immunity, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Amphibians have experienced an extensive decline in the global population in recent decades. This decline has been associated with several factors, including infectious diseases and anthropically mediated environmental changes, such as climate change, and pollutants. Although endocrine and immune physiological adjustments in response to high temperatures and pollutants show high ecologica…

- Assessment of Urban Ecosystem Services Delivery by Small Public Urban Green Spaces: Comparisons between Urban Contexts in Brazil and Mexico, BE.EP.IC
Abstract
This project proposes a one-month research internship at the Institute for Scientific and Technological Research of San Luis Potosí (IPICYT), in Mexico, under the supervision of Dr. Fredy Alvarado. The objective is to complement the ongoing Scientific Initiation project funded by FAPESP, developed at UNESP in Rio Claro under the supervision of Prof. Dr. João Carlos de Castro Pena. The mai…
- Influence of microplastic diet and global temperature increase on filtration, reproduction, and biomass of cladocerans (Daphnia magna and Ceriodaphnia silvestrii), BE.EP.IC
Abstract
This project aims to assess the combined effects of microplastic ingestion and increased temperature on the physiological, behavioral, and reproductive parameters of Daphnia magna in Germany, allowing a direct comparison of these results with ongoing research on Ceriodaphnia silvestrii made in Brazil, thus enhancing the overall value of both studies. Specifically, the study will investiga…
- THERMAL RESISTANCE AND RESILIENCE OF TROPICAL EAST PACIFIC CORAL REEFS DURING THE 2023/2024 EL NIÑO, BE.EP.IC
Abstract
Coral reefs, built by scleractinian corals, are critical ecosystems that support 25% of marine species and provide significant socioeconomic benefits, including coastal protection, fishing, and tourism. Despite covering less than 1% of the ocean's surface, reefs contribute approximately $9.8 billion annually. However, they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic impacts, particularly risin…
