Understanding Global Change: Research at the Amazon Estuary
Understanding the importance of the Amazon estuary for the western Atlantic bio-productivity and the global climate holistically – this is the goal of Andrea Koschinsky, Professor of Geosciences at Jacobs University Bremen. In order to achieve this, she sampled the river and its estuary with a team of around 30 researchers. Their findings provide crucial geochemical baseline data, which could help in future efforts to mitigate anthropogenic impacts such as climate change.
