Marquette – Visiting Professor Antonio Ribeiro de Almeida, from the University of São Paulo–Piracicaba, will present “Brazil Today: Communicating About the Social-Environmental Frontier” on Monday, October 10 at 7 p.m. in the Mead Auditorium in the West Science Building at NMU.
One of Brazil’s most daunting environmental challenges is the deforestation of the Amazon. Some scientists say this is responsible for the severe drought affecting São Paulo because the Amazon’s trees play an important role in releasing water as vapor clouds, known as “flying rivers.”
The professor will discuss governmental and nongovernmental efforts to pitch environmental challenges and solutions to the country’s citizens. The event is free and open to the public.
