Characterization of Wetland Hydrodynamics through Remote Sensing in the Context of Climate Change (CNPq)
This project aims to advance the understanding of the hydrodynamics of lakes in floodplains in the Pantanal and Amazon using remote sensing data. The research seeks to enhance the understanding of the impacts of climate change on these critical ecosystems. Specific objectives include estimating water levels in lakes using satellite altimeters, evaluating hydrological changes over time, assessing the capability of satellites to represent lake hydrodynamics, and characterizing extreme events such as droughts and floods. Additionally, the project aims to foster cooperation between research and teaching institutions, train qualified human resources at various levels (undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral), and raise awareness about extreme events and water resources. In this way, the project contributes to scientific, technological, and innovation development and the sustainable management of water resources in Brazil.
