The Lal Carbon Center was very happy to receive a visit from Dr. Daniel Abreu, Assistant Professor at the Federal University of Mato Grosso in Cuiabá, Brazil, along with Dr. Michael Chrisman, Assistant Director of the Ohio International Intern Program (TOP) and Pedro Luis Mendes Pereira, Program Coordinator of TOP on Monday, February 3rd, 2025. Dr. Lal had last encountered Dr. Abreu at the World Soil Day Ohio State Brazil Gateway Forum on Climate Change on December 5th, 2023. Dr. Lal gave the opening keynote in that event, Advances towards Making Agriculture a part of the Solution to Global Warming and other Environmental Issues, and Dr. Abreu participated as panelist discussing the current changes Brazil was making to better sequester carbon.
Dr. Lal enjoyed seeing Dr. Abreu again and hosting the three guests in Kottman Hall. Dr. Lal shared copies of three of his recent books: Soil Organic Matter and Feeding the Future: Basic Soil Processes, Soil and Drought: Basic Processes, and Managing Soil Drought. Special thanks to Pedro Luis Mendes Pereira for sharing photos!
We at the Lal Carbon Center wish Dr. Abreu a safe trip and look forward to connecting again someday soon!
