The TADP have assembled a diverse team of scientists from 12 nations that span a wide range of disciplines, including mantle processes, sedimentology, biostratigraphy, tectonics, organic and inorganic geochemistry, geophysics, climate modeling, paleoclimate, phylogenetics, palynology, paleontology, groundwater hydrology, microbiology, and evolutionary biology.
Below are some of the objetives related to the project.
Organic-rich sediment samples will be used for incubation experiments to estimate subsurface CH4 and CO2 production and consumption rates and pathways, and identify the methanogenic and methanotrophic community composition associated with them. A similar approach has been applied to assess the effect of temperature increase on the methanogenic potential and metabolic activity of autochtonous microbial communities in undeformed soil and shallow sediment cores (0-15 cm and 15-30 cm) from wetlands in floodplains of Amazon rivers of black, white, and clearwater within the framework of the scientific research project entitled. Dynamics of production and consumption of methane by active microbiota in Amazonian wetlands (FAPESP 2016/16687-3) in progress at Center of Sciences and Technology for Sustainability from Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar, Campus Sorocaba).
Este é um projeto estritamente acadêmico, dedicado ao avanço das ciências, sem qualquer finalidade financeira ou econômica.
