Greening and Water Use Eciency during a period of high frequency of droughts in the Brazilian semi-arid.
A discussion that has occurred in the scientific community is that despite the increase in the frequency of droughts, the semi-arid world may be increasing the density of vegetation due to fertilization by the increase in atmospheric CO2, a phenomenon called greening. Through this study, we sought t...

A mathematical programming approach for downscaling multi-layered multi-constraint land-use models.
Land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) models are important tools for environmental policy planning. LULCC models are frequently constrained to the generation of projections at a specific resolution. However, subsequent studies or models may require finer resolutions. In this work, a downscaling met...

Communication in the Brazilian civil defense system.
During 2020 and 2021 we performed a series of investigations about communication aspects related to the civil defense in Brazil, such as interviews, questionnaires, online roundtables and documental analysis. All federative levels (national, state and municipal) were included and we analyzed communi...

Spatiotemporal distribution of precipitation and its characteristics under tropical atmospheric systems of Brazil: Insights from a large sub-hourly database.
The study of rainfall properties at various spatiotemporal scales is deeply important for understanding a large range of socio-environmental processes and variables (e.g., water resources, agriculture, socio-ecosystemic services, natural risk assessment). However, such studies on rainfall characteri...

Exploring the time geography of public transport networks with the gtfs2gps package.
The creation of the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) in the mid-2000s provided a new data format for cities to organize and share digital information on their public transport systems. GTFS feeds store geolocated data on public transport networks, including information on routes, stops, tim...

A biomass map of the Brazilian Amazon from multisource remote sensin.
The Amazon Forest, the largest contiguous tropical forest in the world, stores a significant fraction of the carbon on land. Changes in climate and land use affect total carbon stocks, making it critical to continuously update and revise the best estimates for the region, particularly considering ch...

Fonte ou semidouro? uma revisão sobre os fluxos de CO2 na plataforma continental brasileira.
Studies of global carbon balance estimates are still incipient in the oceans of the Southern Hemisphere, mainly in coastal areas and continental shelf. Even in Brazil, despite its continental proportion coastline, there is still a great inconsistency in studies on the marine carbonate system and CO2...

Re-appraisal of the global climatic role of natural forests for improved climate projections and policies.
Along with the accumulation of atmospheric greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, the loss of primary forests and other natural ecosystems is a major disruption of the Earth's system and is causing global concern. Quantifying planetary warming from carbon emissions, global climate models hig...
