Abstract

This research is part of the RCGI project - 64 GHG project - D.1, which has the title: "Greenhouse gas emissions in the Amazon and data analysis system and services". In this project, a multidisciplinary team will build a computer system that integrates data associated with land use changes, remote sensing of greenhouse gases, meteorological parameters, forest degradation data, and models' simulations to study how Amazonian land use change the climate.
