Datamap

The aggregation of observations into a scientific repository aimed at quantifying the balance of greenhouse gases and climate uncertainties in the Amazon presents a unique opportunity to understand better how environmental phenomena operate in the region while enabling the synthesis of the enormous amount of data generated there. DataMap/Amazon was conceived with the above vision in mind. It is an initiative relevant to not only Brazilian but also Latin American science more generally, which typically lacks the necessary computational tools to integrate and synthesize knowledge from the vast collection of information by researchers from institutions such as the National Institute for Amazonian Research, the National Space Institute (INPE), USP, and the State University of Campinas.
