Offer Description
This research is part of the RCGI-Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation's project - 64 GHG - D.1, titled “Greenhouse gas emissions in the Amazon and data analysis system and services”.
The RCGI is an Engineering Research Center (ERC) funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) in partnership with Shell and hosted by the Engineering School of the University of São Paulo (POLI-USP) in Brazil. Said project will be developed at the Physics Institute (IF-USP).
In this project, a multidisciplinary team will build a computer system that integrates data associated with land use changes, remote sensing of greenhouse gases, meteorological parameters, forest degradation data, and models’ simulations to study how Amazonian land use change the climate.
This research plan requires a broad area of knowledge in atmospheric sciences. It needs to have a meteorology or environmental physics background and programming skills. It needs to understand physical processes associated with land use, mainly in atmospheric numerical models.
