Designed to share a hands-on-science experience, the new, brightly-painted van will make it possible for kids and adults to participate in the excitement of the discovery process in cities and towns across Panama.
How far should we go when paying for natural services? Economic sciences can help us calculate the exact amount
Through the long-term study of different landscapes in the Panama Canal Watershed, and the environmental services they offer, the Agua Salud project aims to use its data to improve human welfare and ensure a more sustainable future throughout the tropics
Charlotte Steeves studies the relationship between land use and seasonal river stream flow at STRI as part of the Agua Salud project. She has been a STRI intern since January 2018. However, her involvement with Panama goes back much further: In some ways it seems like she’s been preparing for this adventure for her whole life.
A unique project, integrating river and oceanic data, aims to shed light onto the drivers of marine hypoxia
A study in Science by 225 researchers working with data from 590 forest sites around the world concludes that tropical forests release much more carbon into the atmosphere at high temperatures.
Timber anatomy studies help inform conservation and restoration decisions for historical monuments, and may provide previously unknown information about the artistic techniques or materials used in the past
After more than half a century devoted to her scientific and teaching work, Professor Mireya Correa leaves behind an extensive legacy in Panamanian botany
The adaptation of certain plants to drought and high temperatures involves a fundamental reprogramming of their metabolism, not just a simple adjustment that can be made by regular plants.
