Brazil is now part of the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (Scor) where the vice president now is Ilana Wainer, professor of the Institute of Oceanography of the University of São Paulo (USP). She is specialized in Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction with Climate and will be representing Brazilian interest in this committee which is directly responsible for defining the direction of international oceanographic research.
She points out that the South Atlantic and Southern oceans, in particular, are objects of most interest since they directly influence the climate of Brazil. Brazil is at the vanguard of this type of scientific knowledge and should be of great help to gather data and to keep the ocean 'under control'.
