"From the archaeological point of view, the current Panamanian territory has a particular importance due to its position as a land bridge between North and South America, a circumstance that facilitated the genetic, agricultural and technological dispersion of human beings throughout the...
Understanding when and where trees die in vast tropical forests is a challenging first step toward understanding carbon dynamics and climate change. Researchers explained variations in tree mortality over a five-year period by analyzing drone images of one of the most-studied tropical forests in the world, Barro Colorado Island in Panama.
Humid tropical forests (HTFs) host the largest reservoir of carbon, water, energy, and biodiversity on the Earth and are important for regulating the climate system. Although these forests are historically adapted to some level of disturbance, they are now facing increasingly severe and...
Understanding how tectonic and climatic forces influence erosion and shape mountains is important to understand the evolution of the landscapes through earth’s history. This presentation aims to determine how do tectonic processes and climate variability interact to shape Earth’s tropical...
An experiment in Panama’s Parque Natural Metropolitano and Gamboa revealed that agoutis were less likely to disperse and pilfer seeds in sites where ferocious felines roam.
Each year since 2018 (with the exception of 2020), the Office of Academic Programs sends a call for interns and fellows (graduate students and postdoc fellows) to submit photos and videos while doing research at STRI as a way to recognize the talent of our academic community.
Panama's deep history has been the subject of much research over many decades. "Panama, much more than a land bridge" is the first book written in Spanish and from Panama dedicated exclusively to addressing the discoveries and analyses surrounding the archeology of this territory.
