Abstract

This postdoctoral project has as its main objective the development of methods for the integration of databases, considering the differences in spatial and temporal representativeness, in addition to other limitations of the GHG observation platforms in the Amazon. In addition, this project will propose a set of statistical and data-mining techniques that are suitable for investigating the relationship between GHG fluxes in the Amazon,environmental variables and anthropogenic activities (AU)
