Assembled from 23 blocks · 1 evidence · 16 related

1. Story
2. The head of Brazil's space research institute is removed from office following a public dispute with the federal government over DETER figures showing rising clearance. The episode is the clearest demonstration of why an openly published, methodologically fixed satellite record is a political institution as well as a scientific one - and of what it costs to maintain.

22. Evidence
23. Supports the distinction between DETER, a rapid alert system built for enforcement, and PRODES, the slower wall-to-wall annual accounting series, and the fact that DETER totals are not the official deforestation rate. V55 verification basis: INPE domains were probed in this session and returned EGRESS_BLOCKED; the system description is stated from the producing model's knowledge.
