Conferencia impartida por el Dr. Henrique Barbosa, Investigador del Instituto de Física de la Universidad de Sao Paulo

Resumen: The Amazon rain-forest is a tipping element of the earth system. Reduced rainfall and increased temperatures, expected occur with climate change and deforestation, might induce its dieback, while in turn forest loss is expected to intensify regional droughts. The consequences of this vegetation-atmosphere feedback would go beyond the forest boundaries, as large-scale moisture transport from tropical Atlantic to sub-tropical South America depends on the moisture recycling over the forest. In this talk I will discuss how Complex Networks can be used to investigate this problem and what we’ve learned by doing so.
