Jose A. Marengo holds a degree in Physics and Meteorology - Universidad Nacional Agraria (1981), a master's degree in Water Resources Engineering - Universidad Nacional Agraria (1987) in Lima, Peru and a PhD in Meteorology - University of Wisconsin - Madison (1991 ) in USA. He did postdoctoral studies at NASA-GISS and Columbia University in New York and at Florida State University in Florida, USA in climate modeling. He is currently a senior researcher and General Coordinator of Research and Development at CEMADEN (National Center for Monitoring and Alerts of Natural Disasters) linked to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation MCTI, where he works with extreme events, natural disasters and disaster risk reduction. He is a postgraduate professor at INPE and UNESP. He is a member of several United Nations international panels and working groups in Brazil and abroad on climate change and global change. He is a consultant in the area of #8203;#8203;environmental studies of global change, impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to climate change and a reviewer for several scientific journals and national and international funding agencies. He is the author of more than 250 articles, book chapters, books, technical reports and conference papers. He currently participates in several research projects, with Brazilian, English, French and American institutions, and has intensified teaching and research guidance activities, in addition to being an active member of several participatory councils on climate and hydrology, climate and global changes. He has experience in the area of #8203;#8203;Geosciences, with an emphasis on Meteorology, working mainly on the following topics: Amazon, climate, climate change, and climate modeling. He was a member of the Scientific Committee of the Brazilian Panel on Climate Change, CLA and RE of the IPCC AR5 and AR6 GT1 and 2 Reports, and currently of the IPCC AR7. He is a Full Member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Sciences of the State of São Paulo, and The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS). He was a member of the CNPq Environmental Sciences Advisory Committee, and is currently an associate editor of the International Journal of Climatology and the Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences. He is a member of the Scientific Committee on Climate Adaptation and Resilience of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. He was selected by Clarivate as one of the most influential and highly cited researchers in the field of geosciences in the world in 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024 (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The INCT Climate Change aims to implement and develop a comprehensive network of interdisciplinary research on global change and sustainability, and is based on the cooperation between about 30 research groups from all regions of Brazil and 10 international research groups, involving in its entirety over approximately 300 researchers, students and technicians and establishing itself as on…
Predicting the beginning and end dates of the rainy season is an essential, but challenging, aspect of water management in tropical regions. However, predictions of the timing of the rainy season are not yet formally integrated into water management planning. One of the main goals of the ongoing FAPESP project is to evaluate Brazil's vulnerability to climate change in the context of water…
These theoretical studies will be intimately connected with the investigation of experimental and natural dynamical networks of increasing complexity starting from a few coupled lasers, via hybrid networks of neurons to the system Earth. The latter one is a special challenge for the network theory and it will be a focus of this project. A main topic will be the understanding of the functi…

Water plays a central role. In the water-society nexus, water is used for consumption activities, and hygiene is perceived as an element of human dignity. Access to clean water and sanitation leads to health benefits. In the water-economy nexus, water is an input for economic activities, and its availability determines the cultivation of irrigated crops, forestry production, livestock far…

The education sector is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and associated climate-related disasters, such as floods, flash floods, storms, and landslides. However, the specific needs of children worldwide in the face of such disasters are often overlooked, even though citizens under the age of 18 incorporate a significant portion of the victims. Consequently, international…
