Maria Assunção Dias,Director of Meteorology atRhama Analysis,was one of the researchers who integrated and coordinated, between1998 and 2010, theLarge-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA)project, a landmark in the history of Brazilian climate science. The research, supported byFAPESP (São Paulo Research Foundation), aimed to understandhow the Amazonian system influences the climate of Brazil and the planet. The studies yielded unprecedented data on the exchange of energy, moisture, and carbon between the forest and the atmosphere, expanding knowledge about the importance of the Amazon for global climate balance. Today, as director of Rhama Analysis, Maria Assunção brings this scientific expertise to the applied field ofoperational meteorology and climate analysis, connecting academic research to solutions that supportenvironmental management, monitoring, and real-time decision-making. The full content of this trajectory, and the role of Brazilian researchers in building this scientific legacy, can be explored in the virtual exhibition"Science in the Amazon," created by theFAPESP Memory Center. AsCOP30brings together global leaders to discuss the future of the climate, studies like LBA gain new prominence and reinforce the commitment of Brazilian science and professionals likeMaria Assunçãoto building sustainable pathways for the planet.
