Amazon Dams Network

ADN works to advance of inter- and transdisciplinary research on the social-ecological impacts of hydroelectric dam construction in the Amazon.

[Polyanna Bispo @polybispo]

These is the panel to discuss about Amazon!!! 👇🏾

[Conexões Amazônicas @ConexAmazonicas]

A Rede Conexões Amazônicas é parceira do Instituto Juruá, que apoia o trabalho de conservação no rio Juruá.

O manejo do pirarucu na região é coordenado pela ASPROC e conta com o apoio do Instituto Juruá, que incentiva o protagonismo local. Leia mais no último blog em nosso site!

BREAKING: If you're feeling down by the US Supreme Court ruling on regulation of emissions, cheer up with good, amazing news from Brazil: our Supreme Court has just ruled that the Paris Agreement is a human rights treaty. This has enormous implications for future cases. Why? 🧵

Our latest study @NatureComms--led by Yusuke Satoh --shows large increase in frequency of “unprecedented” #drought in many global drought hotspots & within the next 30 years! @MSU_EGR @michiganstateu https://t.co/XcgogjEYzY

[Amazon Dams Network @adn_rba]

New paper by Suyog Chaudhari & @PokhrelYadu (@MSU_EGR) in @theAGU Water Resources Research investigates flooding patterns across the Amazon River basin, findings "large dams in the Amazonian subbasins...have altered downstream river flow amplitude by up to 3 orders of magnitude."

[UF Latin American Studies @LatamUF]

There will be TWO virtual panels on environmental governance in the Amazon this month! Register at the links below.

How much inundation occurs in the #Amazon River basin?

Very happy to share our paper published today in @ElsevierConnect Remote Sensing of Environment.

30 international experts, 29 inundation datasets compared, the Amazon as a big remote sensing lab.

[Luana S. Basso @LuanaBasso16]

Our new paper is out! On this major review led by John Melack, we summarize #methane fluxes and regional estimates using bottom-up and top-down approaches, and discuss current understanding of #biogeochemical and physical processes in #Amazon aquatic environments!

Satellites over the Amazon capture the choking of the ‘house of God’ by the Belo Monte Dam – they can help find solutions, too https://t.co/KkqVpuousm via @ConversationUS
