NASA has asked scientists to look at how record flooding AND droughts in the last decade are affecting the Amazon River. They’ll be studying what the affects of climate change are on the vast river and what that might mean for rivers in the U.S.
The study will be conducted with a 1.2 million dollar grant from NASA and the cooperation of the Woods Hole Institute in Massachusetts and the University of Santa Barbara.
