and satellite images to track the recent development of the Amazon road network. The team's report which was published this month in the journal Regional Environmental Change concluded that approximately 10000 miles (17000 km) of roads were built every year in Brazil between 2004 and 2007.
Not surprisingly road networks were found to spread the most quickly in newly settled areas as well as in areas experiencing renewed economic growth.
An understanding of road networks is the big missing gap in our ability to predict the future of this region.
Past research suggests that certain configurations of road networks in the Amazon are more sustainable than others.
Such a network allows roads to be built far enough away from one another that animals and connected ecosystems can continue to thrive despite the intrusion of human infrastructure.

#Methane Rising As Funding Cuts Threaten Monitoring Network Levels of methane a climate-changing greenhouse gas have been rising since 2007.
But U s. federal budget woes are shrinking the monitoring network that tracks greenhouse gases such as methane
In the past six years funding for part of the network the collection of air samples in flasks has kept not pace with cost increases said Ed Dlugokencky an atmospheric chemist with NOAA's Earth sciences Research Laboratory
We've had about a 25 percent decrease in the number of air samples measured from the global cooperative network Dlugokencky told Live Science.
While methane measurements on a global scale are now accurate down to a fraction of a percent adding more sampling sites to the network could help researchers better understand what's happening to emissions on a regional scale such as in Asia
but if we want to understand what's happening in different regions we really need to have a denser measurement network
and California and tall towers throughout the United states. The agency also tracks greenhouse gases by plane and other countries contribute to the network.
In 2012 NOAA's climate-monitoring budget woes prompted more than 50 scientists to publish a letter in Science warning that shrinking networks would harm long-term efforts to understand
The U s. monitoring network is the main player in measuring global methane Dlugokencky said. Yet the network's decline comes as methane is becoming a major climate concern.
Here are some examples: Fracking or hydraulic fracturing operations by the oil and gas industries can emit significant amounts of methane.
it's a network that feeds on itself. Building that facial muscle memory also helps players recognize their own emotions

an animal virologist at Ghent University in Belgium, admits that participating labs have taken just a few hundred to a thousand samples each over the past year.
Network members hope that with the pandemic highlighting the need for better pig surveillance new funding will be forthcoming.
