Brazil has shown an increase in the frequency of extreme weather and climate events in recent decades, especially in the last decade. All Brazilian biomes and populations were affected, while those living in susceptible areas as well as indigenous communities suffered the most. For example, disasters triggered by extreme rainfall have been the cause of thousands of deaths, which could hav…

This Project aims to inaugurate a new phase of the Observatory of Evictions (OR), which for more than a decade has identified, mapped and analyzed threats and actual evictions of individuals and groups in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (MRSP), seeking to understand and influence the dynamics, urban projects and policies that lead to evictions. OR starting point was the recognition o…

The present study aims to understand how anthropogenic activities affect extratropical cyclones in South America and the Atlantic Ocean in a future climate. In particular, we intend to analyze the changes in wind and precipitation extremes associated with cyclogenesis. Specifically, we intend to verify the role of moisture transport from the Amazon in the development of extratropical cycl…
There is evidence that rapid global climate instability and land-use change is contributing towards the increased migration of mosquitoes from the sub-tropical regions of sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle-East into temperate zone areas. This phenomenon has contributed to the increased potential of vector-borne disease - transmitted by various mosquito species such as Aedes aegypti, Aedes …

This project aims to develop predictive models to evaluate the potential (prospectivity) of organic-rich rocks for the generation and accumulation of geologic hydrogen, as well as for the production of blue hydrogen through methane reforming with associated CO2 geological storage. The stored CO2 will also be used for enhanced gas recovery (EGR) in shale gas production, with the Irati Form…
Global climate change has intensified the occurrence of extreme hydrometeorological events, causing significant socio-environmental and economic impacts, especially among vulnerable populations. This project proposes an integrated analysis of flood risks in three distinct geographical regions of Brazil: Rio Branco (Acre, Northern region), Linhares (Espírito Santo, Southeastern region), an…
The most common natural disasters caused by extreme events in Brazil, such as floods, landslides, heat waves and drought impacts, are caused by extreme events, heavy rainfall and lack of rainfall. In urban environments, where most of Brazil's population is concentrated, floods and landslides are the events that cause the highest number of deaths, along with floods. These disasters also ca…

As a result of the recent climate changes, mosquito-borne diseases (like Zika, Dengue) are becoming endemic not only in sub-tropical regions of Africa and Latin America but in other parts of the world. This project will combine public health, mobile technology and climate modelling to evaluate the impacts of environmental changes on water providing breeding habitats for mosquitoes in Nort…
It is unquestionable that large-scale changes are driven by oceanic variability. The Atlantic Ocean in particular is of great importance to the global climate change. In order to improve our understanding of the ocean-atmosphere interaction, the aim of this study is to investigate the possible effect of the local variations in the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) of the Southwestern Atlantic…

Great part of southern Africa (SAF), defined here as African subcontinent poleward of 10°S, experiences generally rainfall during October-March months with a seasonal peak that resembles monsoonlike regime occurring between December and February (DJF) months, in which more than 50 % of total annul mean rainfall tends to occurs. However, monsoon rainfall, which is the lifeblood for the key…
To understand the impact of climate change on mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), we need to understand how the environment where they are generated influences them. That is, it is crucial to understand the dynamic and thermodynamic atmospheric patterns associated with the occurrence of MCSs in the present climate to advance the understanding of future climate conditions using climate ch…
Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) occur spread around world, being associated to very strong thunderstorms, vertical heat transferring, and large amounts of precipitation, among others. Precipitation is fundamental for the ecosystems equilibrium over the Amazon basin, the major watershed in the globe. The climate change is imminent and accelerated by human beings. In this case, preventi…
Through anomalous upper tropospheric divergence, changes in the Hadley Circulation (HC) are connected to alterations in the generation of Rossby waves that propagate into the extra-tropics. Many studies identified that a robust HC response to an increase in the anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is a weakening and a poleward expansion of this circulation. Changes in the location, inte…
