Aerosols in the Amazon - Changes and their Consequences from Past and Future Human Activities

February 18 - 22, 2008
Manaus, AmazĂ´nia, Brazil

Workshop Overview & Goals

Amazonian aerosol particles (including their formation, transformations, and effects on clouds and radiation) are very important as a climate regulator in the southern hemisphere. Therefore, understanding the effects on them of past and future human activities is a priority for planning strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change. The goals of the workshop are to define research priorities, consider new research approaches, and address mechanisms for international collaboration, in particular to past and future changes arising from human activities, especially as tied to economic development plans for the region.
