SUMMARY:CCI Lecture Series  -Lino Augusto Sander de Carvalho\, Institute of Geosciences\, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
DESCRIPTION:  \nSATELLITE APPLICATIONS FOR BRAZIL’S\nENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES: THE ROLE OF\nLASA/UFRJ IN CLIMATE EXTREMES RESEARCH\nLino Augusto Sander de Carvalho\nDepartment of Meteorology\nInstitute of Geosciences\, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro\n\nMonday\, September 22nd\, 12PM\n300 Bryand Global Science Center\nhttps://maine.zoom.us/j/81207024548?pwd=h8j4L85trRbBoPp12KWWIwPnK4p73i.1&jst=2\n  \nAbstract: The Laboratory For Environmental Satellite Applications (Laboratório de Aplicações de Satélites\nAmbientais – LASA) at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro –\nUFRJ) leverages remote sensing data and climate modeling to address environmental and climate challenges across\nBrazil’s impacted ecosystems. Among its key initiatives is ALARMES\, a real-time satellite-based fire monitoring and early\nwarning system that provides rapid detection and tracking of vegetation fires\, thereby supporting emergency response\nand environmental management efforts nationwide. LASA also conducts advanced research on the increasing frequency\nof compound drought and atmospheric heatwave events and their role in triggering severe wildfire outbreaks\, such as the\n2020 Pantanal fires\, while investigating the consequent impacts on urban health and mortality. Additionally\, the\nlaboratory integrates satellite observations with atmospheric models to improve the understanding of water cycle\nvariability and inform water resource management in Brazil’s major river basins. Complementing these efforts\, LASA\napplies inland\, coastal and ocean remote sensing to monitor water ecosystems and processes critical for climate\nadaptation along Brazil’s extensive coastline. Furthermore\, research on urban climate dynamics\, including urban heat\nislands\, air quality\, and socio-environmental vulnerabilities\, informs sustainable urban planning and resilience strategies.\nThrough these multidisciplinary approaches\, LASA expects to contribute to vital knowledge and tools to support Brazil’s\nresponse to climate change\, offering insights relevant to global climate resilience and adaptation efforts.\n
