In June 2026, TROPECOS scientists from BOREA, iEES, UFF, MPEG and UFPA have sampled sediments cores, litters and litter bags in two Amazonian mangroves, Marapanim a preserved site and Salinopolis a site impacted by urbanization and sewage loads. In addition, forest inventories were performed in Marapanim.
Five TROPECOS researchers from IGE and CARE/HCMUT have joined the Antea, a scientific vessel from the French ocean fleet which sailed for 1 month along the Vietnamese South coast (10 June – 10 July 2024). During the field trip in wet season, intensive sampling of water for dissolved and particulate carbone as well as CO2 and CH4 concentrations was realised within the Saigon Dong Nai estuary, in two branches of Mékong Delta and along the coast.
