Climate Science for Service Partnership (CSSP) Brazil - Calls- tender-UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS
Project disclaimer
Description
Collaborative climate science research programme between Brazil and UK to improve understanding of recent climate changes and Brazil’s role in mitigation activities to inform international negotiations; to enhance projections of future weather and climate extremes and impacts to inform decision making and contribute to disaster risk reduction in Brazil. Research hydrological cycle responses to land-use change and climate change over Brazil
Objectives
Deforestation in Brazil causes large local changes to the land surface, disrupting land-atmosphere interactions, warming the local climate and reducing regional rainfall. Combined with the effect of climate change, deforestation also has large impacts on downstream moisture transport and precipitation in other regions of Brazil such as the La Plata basin. However, the sensitivity of this remote moisture transport to deforestation and climate change in the Amazon (and other Brazilian biomes) is not well understood. This project forms an extension of previous U. Leeds CSSP-Brazil study on processes controlling local evapotranspiration, temperature and precipitation changes in response to Amazon deforestation. Work will contribute to some or all of the following: 1) Assessment of observed hydrological changes, moisture convergence and precipitation responses over Brazil (including a focus on the La Plata basin) in response to deforestation and climate change in the Amazon (and potentially other Brazilian biomes). 2) Assessment of future 2050 changes in moisture transport, moisture convergence and precipitation responses over Brazil (including a focus on the La Plata basin) in response to GCM projected deforestation and climate change in the Amazon (and potentially other Brazilian biomes). 3) Assessment of moisture transport impacts over Brazil, likelihood and potential mitigation of climate tipping points associated with Amazon deforestation and climate change.
