Jim and Hayley just returned from a teaching and research visit to the Federal University of Western Pará in Santarem, Brazil. We have been sampling ultrafine particles in the rainforest here for the past year. Here is a slideshow with some highlights from the visit. Among other things, we held a short course on “Introduction to Atmospheric Aerosol and Volatile Organic Compounds Measurements” on a river boat on the Tapajos River. Here’s a link to an article about our visit from the UFOPA website (along with exciting interviews of Jim and Hayley). It’s in Portuguese but Google does a pretty good job of translating it.
