Abstract

In April 1996 the Interamerican Institute for Research into Global Changes (IAI) approved the research project entitled A South American modeling cooperative for global change related oceanic, coastal and estuarine processes, the objective of which was to begin the installation of a center dedicated to the coordination of studies and modeling of several processes associated with global changes in oceanic, coastal and estuestuary regions, in South America. This project, part of the lnitial Science Program of the IAI, has the participation of scientists from four countries (Argentina, Brazil, United States and Uruguay) and is coordinated from USP’s Institute of Oceanography. The project aims to optimize the process of installation of the center. (AU)
