Instituto Dom Luiz
Our Mission:
Instituto Dom Luiz (IDL) aims to be relevant not only in fundamental Earth System research, but also in applications and technologies that relate science with the main 21st century societal concerns: forecasting and adapting to climate change and to other major natural hazards, and establishing an environmentally sustainable supply of raw materials, water and energy. Merging Geosciences research with applications and technologies is the key of both knowledge transfer to the Society, and training of a new generation of scientists and engineers.
