Water security is one of the most important priorities of mankind, especially for megacities such as São Paulo. Generally, at this city and in the rest of the country the strategies to assure enough water for people follow classic models based on development of infrastructure for collection and storage. Under this scenario of relatively high costs and questionable long-term sustainability…
The expansion of intensive crop agriculture in tropical forests is a global phenomenon driven by land availability, shifts in diet to more meat consumption and growth of human populations and incomes. These land-use changes have not been accompanied by significant improvements in water governance. This will become increasingly important as changes to climate impact the amount, timing and …
The premise of this project is that C02 outgassing and respiration rates are supported by the cycling of a large variety of OM fuels - derived from allochthonous, autochthonous, and macrophytic biomass - each with an inherent lability and unique rate of degradation, varying systematically over the hydrograph. Using new methods, these processes can be tracked, quantified and understood wit…
This project aims to develop the tools to describe comprehensively the biogeochemistry of fluvial systems in the Amazon and the Pantanal and their role in regional and global carbon (C) cycles, in order to predict their influence and responses to a changing climate. Understand and coping with changes in ecosystems functioning demands a profound knowledge of intra and interannual variation…

The proposal aims to investigate if the environmental legislation is an effective tool for promoting water security in the Upper Xingu Basin, considering social, environmental, cultural, economic and epistemological aspects of the study area. The Upper Xingu Basin [51 million hectares] is among the main basins of the Amazon River Basin- the most extensive water network of the planet. The …
