Research Experience for Teachers (RET) in Brazil

Local Falmouth, MA., teacher Celeste Cruse travels with Research Associates Kathleen Savage and Paul Lefebvre to the Tanguro Ranch (below) in Mato Grosso, Brazil to participate in the Center's ongoing research activities. The objective is to provide an opportunity for Ms. Cruse to participate in research associated with the impacts of land use and land use change in Brazil, with particular emphasis on impacts to the forest carbon cycle, plant and animal species and food webs. This opportunity will give Ms. Cruse hands-on experience in measurement techniques, which she can use with her students to compare and contrast the impacts of land use change on Cape Cod, MA. with regions in Brazil.
