During the presentation I mentioned a video I had made during a visit to one of the towers installed in the Amazon to measure the flux of carbon and water between the forest and the atmosphere (it's part of a huge ongoing experiment designed to investigate the role of the Amazon in climate change).

You can watch this 2 minute video below - it's in Portuguese only, but the images are very impressive.

Profnet - a way to reach local scientists

Ufrida writes:
A useful online resource for finding scientists and researchers on specialised subjects is PR Newswire. The website is at https://profnet.prnewswire.com/.
PRNewswire is a resource established in 1992 as an online resource for reporters. It hooks up journalists with experts around the world. Great thing is that it's free and you're connecting with experts who want to give their input -you won't even need to chase them down!
