Brazil Took an Audacious Step by Sending Admiral Marcos Sampaio Olsen to the United States. The Aim is to Participate in the Meetings of the Continental Shelf Limits Commission in New York to Claim the Expansion of Brazilian Territory.

The area in question, the Rio Grande Rise, is a submerged region in the South Atlantic, rich in rare minerals such as cobalt, nickel, and platinum, essential for modern technologies, such as batteries and solar panels. Currently, Brazil can only explore this area for scientific purposes. International recognition would allow for commercial exploration, bringing billions of reais to the Brazilian economy.

This claim comes at a time of increasing investment by Brazil in military technology for air defense. Recently, the Brazilian Navy acquired a state-of-the-art radar capable of monitoring vessels up to 370 km from the coast, surpassing the limitations of conventional radars. This radar, named OTH 0100, places Brazil among the select group of countries with advanced ocean monitoring technology, alongside China, Russia, and the United States.

The Maritime Region of Brazil in the Atlantic Has Seen Tensions in the Past

From 1961 to 1963, Brazil and France nearly went to war in what became known as the Lobster War, due to the illegal capture of lobsters by French vessels off the northeast coast of Brazil. Although the conflict was resolved peacefully, it was crucial for the definition of Brazilian maritime borders.

The Continental Shelf Limits Commission Has Already Approved Brazil’s Claim for the Southern Region

It is now analyzing the proposal for the Equatorial Margin, with a decision expected later this year. Following that, the claim for the Eastern Margin, where the Rio Grande Rise is located, will be assessed.

Brazil’s initiative to claim the expansion of its continental territory not only aims to increase its area rich in natural resources but also to strengthen its sovereignty and national security. This geopolitical maneuver demonstrates Brazil’s growing influence on the international stage and its determination to protect and sustainably exploit its natural resources in a strategic manner.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Without a course in aerospace engineering and without a dedicated laboratory, USP students launch a rocket with a hybrid engine and bring Project Jupiter to the forefront of aerospace technology.

Goodbye USA! Trips to China soar as the US loses tourists, and the Asian giant dethrones the world’s greatest power and firmly enters the top of global tourism.

Three sailors were injured after a fire broke out on the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower at a shipyard in the USA.

Goodbye to the invisible waste of the home: intelligent systems now combine thermostat, lighting, plugs, and energy monitor into a single platform capable of automating devices, displaying real-time consumption, and operating with standby of up to 0.5 to 1 watt on key devices.

It passed by Earth 170,000 years ago when our ancestors lived in caves and has now returned — a rare comet is visible to the naked eye in the sky this April and may never return again…
