Adele Rossetti Morosini, MFA Fine Arts (Painting); MS Theory, Criticism, and History of Art, Design, and Architecture ’97, is the recipient of a 2024-25 Fulbright U.S. Scholar grant, her second for research on the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. In Oct.- Nov., 2024, the first phase of the grant, she and Sergio Rossetti Morosini, MFA Fine Arts (Painting); MS Theory, Criticism, and History of Art, Design, and Architecture ’97 began documenting the species composition of a rare primary-growth fragment of the Araucaria forest ecosystem by collecting herbarium specimens, and recording it visually through photography, video, and botanical illustration. The study continues from April - May, 2025. Results of Adele's study go to the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, an agency of the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment. The data will add to the information on which future conservation and reforestation policies for that ecosystem will be based.
