The project is funded by the Amazonas State netbet sport Support Foundation, the Amazonas Environmental Protection Institute, and the State Secretariat for the Environment.

“All of this work was enabled by the terrific collaboration with the UEA team, and it would have been impossible without them,” said Martin, who has also collaborated with UEA on netbet sport measuring A precise netbet sports betting app fingerprint. “Working with the UEA team was synergistic both for focusing the research activities and for sampling netbet sport Amazonian context, not to mention the essential logistical contributions of the UEA research boat.”

This fall, Routheir and Haque joined UEA researchers on their research vessel for a two-week voyage up and down the Rio Negro to collect water, sediment, soil and fish samples. While the Harvard team was focused on netbet sport and methylmercury, the UEA researchers also collected samples to test the general water quality of the area. The mission was named the OXIOUUWI Campaign, which means black in the Indigenous Yanomami language.

On the netbet sport

Because of El Nino, the season was especially hot and dry, with several days exceeding 100 degrees. The boat moved slowly to navigate through a shallower netbet sport, carefully skirting sandbars and beached boats.

Several times a day, Routhier and Haque would head out in a dinghy to collect water and sediment samples netbet sport the river, dipping their instruments into the dark waters of the Rio Negro. The team hiked into the jungle to collect soil samples and every couple of days stopped at a town or village — some as large as 15,000 people, others only about 1,000 — to buy fish netbet sport local markets.

Back on board the boat, Routhier and Haque set up a simple lab space to process and preserve the samples for their long flight back to Cambridge. On campus, the team will analyze the samples for total netbet sport and methylmercury concentration, netbet sport isotopes, and carbon levels, which can influence netbet sport methylation in the water.

“We want to understand how and why netbet sport is getting transformed into methylmercury and where that netbet sport is coming from,” said Routhier. “If you start with a source from local gold mining, it’s going to have a very distinct isotopic signature from netbet sport that came from the global pool, was deposited on the forest canopy through the atmosphere, transported into the water through soils and then finally into the water where it gets methylated. So a lot of what we’re doing is forensics, figuring out where the netbet sport is coming from and what processes it's undergone in the environment.”

The research could lead to a better understanding of the netbet sport cycle in the southern hemisphere, which isn’t well understood. Much of what is known about methylmercury accumulation in the northern hemisphere comes from research done in lakes and streams, which have different chemistries than large southern hemisphere tropical rivers like the Rio Negro.

But no matter how well Routhier, Haque or the rest netbet sport team study the river, they’ll never know it quite as well as the people who have lived on it for generations.

“I was amazed by how much knowledge these people had about the river and the surrounding forest netbet sport observation,” said Routhier. “It was scientific knowledge, netbet sport observations of water levels and how the forest has been changing. These communities, which rely on the forest and the river for their food and livelihood, are really tuned into what’s happening netbet sport climate change in a very real way.”

The team is planning another research trip in Spring 2024 on the Madeira River, which has different water chemistry than the Rio Negro and is further impacted by anthropogenic development. There are also hopes to return to the Rio Negro netbet sport wet season to travel further up the river and collect more samples.
