Functional fluvial landforms of the Pantanal: Hydrologic trends and responses to climate changes
(Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2022) [Artigo]Large-scale fluvial landforms emerge from iterative processes that sculpt Earth's surface. Tectonics, climate variability and erosion are major recurrent processes reshaping fluvial landforms ending up in self-affine ... -
Assessment of Groundwater Resources in Brazil: Current Status of Knowledge
(Groundwater Assessment, Modeling, and Management, 2016) [Capítulo de livro]The Brazilian orogenic cycle activities lasted up to the Upper Ordovician/Lower Silurian whereby the actual tectonic framework of the Brazilian territory has been built. The geologic framework described before and the ... -
Cryptospores of Iapó formation: The first evidence of early land plants from Late Ordovician in Paraná Basin, Brazil.
(Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 2022) [Artigo]Assemblages of cryptospores were reported and detailed for the first time from the Upper Ordovician from Brazil. These assemblages were recovered from diamictites and shales with dropstones of the Iapó Formation, Rio Ivaí ... -
U-isotopes and weathering rates in watersheds of Araxa city, Minas Gerais State, Brazil
(Journal Of Environmental Radioactivity, 2022) [Artigo]This work was conducted at Araxa city, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The aim was to characterize by different approaches weathering rates at six watersheds occurring there. The study area is well-known in the country due to ... -
High-resolution taphonomy and sequence stratigraphy of internally complex, bakevelliid-dominated coquinas from the Aptian Romualdo Formation, Araripe Basin, NE Brazil
(Marine And Petroleum Geology, 2022) [Artigo]The Aptian Romualdo Formation (Araripe Basin, NE Brazil) was deposited in a restricted epeiric sea, during the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean, with a coeval record to that in the Brazilian Pre-Salt succession. The ... -
The sulfur isotopic consequence of seawater sulfate distillation preserved in the Neoproterozoic Sete Lagoas post-glacial carbonate, eastern Brazil
(Journal Of The Geological Society, 2022) [Artigo]Since the report of tubular structures interpreted as Cloudina from the Neoproterozoic Sete Lagoas Formation (SLF) in the Bambui basin of eastern Brazil, this stratigraphic unit has become a focus of numerous geochemical, ... -
Classificação de usos da terra por análise discriminante multigrupos
(Geociencias, 2016) [Artigo]The discrimination of different land uses based on satellite data is a widely used procedure, mainly because of processing speed and low cost of realization, depending on the sensor used. The process becomes complex when ... -
Paleosols record dry and humid paleoenvironments during the Upper Pleistocene in the Brazilian Pantanal
(Catena, 2022) [Artigo]Information on Quaternary landscapes and paleoenvironmental changes in the interior of Brazil are scarce. One of such areas, particularly sensitive to these variations, is the modern tropical Pantanal wetland, whose alluvial ... -
Delineation of necroleachate pathways using electrical resistivity tomography (ERT): Case study on a cemetery in Brazil
(Environmental Challenges, 2021) [Artigo]Cemeteries can be considered as potential sources of soil and groundwater contamination in burial sites where there is no collection and treatment system for necroleachate, an effluent rich in organic matter and inorganic ... -
Organic fades analysis of romualdo formation (santana group, lower cretaceous from araripe basin): Characterization of sedimentary organic matter andpaleoenvironmental interpretation
(Geologia USP - Serie Cientifica, 2018) [Artigo]The paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the Santana Group (Late Aptian-Early Albian) is a matter of controversy, es pecially concerning the marine influence on sedimentation. In this context, palynofacies analysis can be ... -
A new approach to improve the accuracy of DGT (Diffusive Gradients in Thin-films) measurements in monitoring wells
(Talanta, 2022) [Artigo]The Diffusive Gradients in Thin-films (DGT) technique represents an ideal tool for monitoring water quality of inorganic species in systems with a high flow such as rivers, streams, lakes and seas. However, in low-flow ... -
An alternative approach to designing hydrogeological conceptual models in cases of scarce field data
(Groundwater for Sustainable Development, 2021) [Artigo]The sensitivity of the derivative analysis to the variation of flow rates allows it to solve ambiguities, provide diagnostics of the flow dimension, and identify the boundary conditions of the tested aquifer. Based on the ... -
Statistical analysis of hydrochemistry and isotopic characterization of groundwater from the parecis basin
(Revista Brasileira de Recursos Hidricos, 2021) [Artigo]Knowledge of mechanism controlling the hydrochemistry of groundwater are crucial requirement to understand the hydrochemical evolution and evaluate the water quality of subsurficial water resources. Thus, to understand the ... -
The first record of Hirnantian Ostracoda in South America: Implications for the biostratigraphy and paleozoogeography of the Paraná basin
(Journal of Paleontology, 2021) [Artigo]Herein is reported the first occurrence of ostracodes from the Iapó Formation, an uppermost Ordovician unit of the Rio Ivaí Group in the Paraná basin, Brazil. Two ostracode species were identified in the Três Barras Farm ... -
