Abstract

During 18 years of experience in graduate education in the environmental area, the graduate programs in environmental sciences of the University of Taubaté have been consolidating the treatment of environmental issues in different geographic conditions, associated with the development of the metropolitan region of Vale do Paraíba, São Paulo, as well as environmental issues in the Amazon region. This edition of Ambi-Água presents 15 original articles from dissertations presented in the last three years, which reinforce the challenge in the treatment of environmental issues in an interdisciplinary context. The commitment of the PPGCA in the construction of knowledge in the environmental area that must guide the development of this important metropolitan region of the state of São Paulo is well known.
