The Amazon region is one of the ecosystems on the planet most affected by global climate change. The reason is variations in the Ecuador line cause events like floods, droughts and storms that directly affect the environment and the local population. In seasonal periods of low rainfall and high air temperatures, river water levels in the Amazon basin get too low for navigation, leaving communities isolated. The droughts also cause fires that alter the ecological balance in the Amazon Forest, which holds 12% of the world’s biodiversity. Deforestation by human action aggravates this scenario even more.

El desarrollo de infraestructura de las redes académicas en Latinoamérica y el Caribe durante los últimos 15 años ha permitido la conexión entre instituciones de educación superior y centros de investigación, con otras similares en todo el mundo. A su vez, este proceso también ha generado nuevos conocimientos, innovación y la posibilidad de que investigadores en distintas áreas del saber desarrollasen proyectos científicos y artísticos de forma cooperativa e interdisciplinaria.
The data generated between the different LAGO centers are transferred through the Advanced Networks. Depending on the number of detectors, 5 to 10 GB are processed monthly for each site, as indicated by Dr. Torres, principal investigator of the project.
