Pedro Milet Meirelles
Life Sciences
Pedro Meirelles is a scientist concerned about the effects of global warming. The biologist turned his attention to aquifers. Their study analyzes microorganisms in these reservoirs to measure the impact of carbon release into the atmosphere. On another front, Meirelles also investigates the possibility of these microorganisms processing CO2 and mitigating the effects of global warming. Professor at the Institute of Biology at the Federal University of Bahia, he has a master’s and doctorate in genetics from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. In addition to trying to stop global warming and enrich knowledge about aquifers, the biologist is also the father of two children.
