Humberto Rocha is Full Professor at Dept of Atmospheric Sciences/IAG/University of São Paulo. Expertise in Hydroclimatology, Hydrometeorological instrumentation, and Biosphere-Atmosphere Interaction. Coordinates the Climate and Biosphere Lab at IAG/USP. He uses computational atmospheric models, and rainfall-runoff and plant productivity models. He has run hydrometeorological observatories with flux tower and hydrological gauges in cropland and native areas in Amazonia, Cerrado and Atlantic forest. He was a participant of Brasil-UK ABRACOS Project 1990, and of LBA Experiment (2000-2010). He leaded projects in the Biota-FAPESP Program and the Climate Change FAPESP Program. Member of the Coordination Commitee of FAPESP Climate Change Program, and representative of Latin America at World Meteorological Organization/Commission for Agricultural Meteorology/Flux Measurements for Agriculture.

- Integrating innovative time-lapse geophysical techniques across the water-energy nexus, AP.R SPRINT
Abstract
The proposed programme focus on demonstrating the applicability of innovative time-lapse geoelectrical methods as a non-invasive tool for measuring key hydrogeological parameters at relevant scales for catchment-based water resource management. More specifically, through a programme of exchange activities, workshops and field demonstrations, the programme will investigate the feasibili...
- Brazilian experimental datasets for multi scale interactions in the critical zone under extreme drought, AP.R
Abstract
BEMUSED recognizes that a more scale-integrated view of the role of soil moisture in the critical zone (the earth's outer layer from vegetation canopy to the soil and groundwater that sustains life) is of great importance in South America. Soil moisture is a key environmental variable of the hydrological cycle connecting the rapid changes in atmospheric conditions near the surface with ...
- Climate-smart watershed investments in the montane tropics of South America (ClimateWise), AP.PFPMCG.TEM
Abstract
ClimateWIse will evaluate whether IWS successfully deliver water services now and if they will continue to be effective in a changing climate. In doing so, the research will inform broad questions about the hydrologic impacts of land-use and climate change in tropical montane South America. To evaluate whether IWS are currently improving water resources, we will 1.1) evaluate the outcom...
- ECOFOR: Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in degraded and recovering Amazonian and Atlantic Forests, AP.BTA.TEM
Abstract
Tropical Forests hold half of the total stock of carbon in the world's vegetation and produce 34% of the total gross primary productivity in terrestrial systems across the planet, which represents the largest contribution to Earths' productivity from a single biome and is more than four times the contribution from boreal and temperate forests combined. At the same time, tropical forests...
- Paving the way for a CO2-enrichment experiment in the Amazon: a proposal for expertise exchange, AP.R
Abstract
One of the top-priority questions in global environmental change Science today is to know the effects increasing atmospheric [002] can have on the physiological/ecological dynamics of tropical forest and its fluxes of greenhouse-gases in the context of climate change. However, so far no Free-Air CO2 Enrichment experiment has been implemented in a tropical forest. The scientific exchange...
- A geosensor network to adress hydroclimatic environmental services, AP.PFPMCG.R
Abstract
The proposal seeks to make progress via two pilot studies, with the deployment of wireless hydroclimatic geosensor networks (air temperature and humidity, soil moisture and watertable), over two experimental sites, namely an Atlantic tropical forest watershed, and a Farmland watershed at the PCJ basin which supplies water to Sao Paulo, and targeted measurements to be incorporated into m...

Abstract
Understanding the role of the biosphere in the climate and hydrological regimes and its social impact is a global priority of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)/Urban Integrated Weather, Environment and Climate Services, with the aim to foster information to energy, water and food security, biodiversity conservation and human well being in rural and urban areas. This proposal a...

Abstract
Small catchments are often characterized by high levels of heterogeneity and complexity, especially in relation to their climatology and hydrology. The porpoise of this project is to estimate the water balance at the headwaters of the Cantareira reservoirs system using multi-instrumented watersheds, with field measurements of climatic data (rainfall, temperature, air humidity, wind spee...
