Abstract

The journalistic research proposal that will be continued together with INPE's Laboratory of Greenhouse Gases (LaGEE) in São José dos Campos is part of the study on the Balance of Greenhouse Gases in the Amazon Basin. Scientific journalism is the most appropriate tool to inform society and make it understand the importance of research and its results, as well as the Amazon Forest, as the central theme of this project. Continuing the work of researcher Yan Tavares Bertone, it is important to continue the transcription of academic language for the wide dissemination of the material to a diverse audience. Thus, content that suits the main available platforms must be produced. (AU)
