• Abstract

  How decision makers and the public perceive and respond to potential local impacts of large-scale change, including economic and health risks, depends on social, cultural and political context and on how scientific evidence is presented. This proposal focuses on identifying the factors that facilitate a shift in knowledge, attitudes, values and decision making about local climate risks an…

• Abstract

  Precipitation can impact almost all human activities, which makes it's distribution in time and space strategic scientific information. The evaluation of the precipitation becomes even more important in places of great complexity, as the State of São Paulo, because besides the great variability of this element due to it's transitional geographical position (the area is crossed by the Trop…

• Abstract

  Sea level rise from climate change would cause serious changes in both the coastal dynamics and the interaction between urban areas and ocean, overturning uses and functions in strategic sectors. Thus, it is of utmost importance to develop public policies in view of reducing and adapting to this threat in coastal urban agglomerations. Considering this, the research aims to contribute to t…

• Abstract

  The knowledge of the spatio-temporal patterns of hazards is fundamental for taking actions towards prevention, which would lead in fewer deaths and damages. It requires information on the temporal frequency and magnitude of relevant hazardous processes. However, Santos and other municipalities that integrate the Metropolitan Region of Baixada Santista do not have a common, comprehensive a…
