The second TROPECOS field work in mangroves of Rio de Janeiro (Mamangua and Itacoatiara) 24 May 2025 – 7 June 2026, involved 14 TROPECOS research scientists and students from BOREA, LPG, UFF and UFPA. We measured gas fluxes in mangrove soils and waters, dissolved carbon concentrations and water current in tidal creeks, and high resolution dissolved redox species in sediments using 2D gels.
This TROPECOS fieldwork in the mangroves of Ouvéa involved a team of six scientists, including a researcher, two PhD students, a post-doc, a researcher technician and an intern from University of New Caledonia.
The week-long mission was made possible through the agreement of the landowners from the Téouta tribe and the hospitality of the women’s association in the Téouta tribe (FAI DOHU association).
