The term "Anthropocene" has been used in the last few decades to describe a new geological epoch. In this new subdivision of the geological timescale, the human civilization acts as central figure of alterations and impacts in geological and ecological scopes. Coastal and estuarine regions suffer from various anthropogenic pressures, such as urban occupation, industrial, agricultural, fis…
Studies on the geological record of the Antarctic Intermediate Water in the Southwest Atlantic are quite scarce, despite its fundamental role in the southern circulation. This water mass, transported by the Subtropical Gyre, undergoes a bifurcation when reaching the South Atlantic's west margin, forming the Santos Bifurcation.In this project, we propose to study the Santos Bifurcation at …
Mudbelts are elongated sediment deposits, which have bathymetric expression, three-dimensional shapes and sedimentological characteristics that reflect the tectonic conditioning, the climate of the adjacent continent and the continental shelf. Continental shelves are very sensitive environments on the continent-ocean interaction; they may contain features that are limited to humans; they …
The South China Sea (SCS) has been in the focus of paleoceanographic studies since Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 184 (ODP leg 184) in 1999. This marginal basin has, since then, provided high resolution marine sedimentary records, that have been applied in the understanding of glacial/interglacial and biogeochemical processes connections linked with air-continent-sea interactions, name…
Nowadays, pollution of coastal environments has grown rapidly, becoming a serious threat for both, people and all local biodiversity, as a result of economic and industrial developments that are not sustainable. The southern region of Bahia hosts two major biomes which are rich in biodiversity and endemism: the Atlantic Forest and the Abrolhos Reef Complex. Previous studies found anomalou…

This project will seek to determine the activities of natural radionuclides of the 238U and 232Th decay series along cores collected in the Santos Bifurcation region. The Santos Bifurcation is an oceanographic phenomenon occurring on the west bank of the South Atlantic. The characterization of the sedimentary processes in this region is intrinsically associated with the hydrodynamic pheno…
Continental shelves are submerged extensions of the continents, subjected to the action of different events and processes, marine and continental, natural and anthropic, whose variations can be registered in their sediments and evaluated by the study of the sedimentology of these environments. The elementary composition of the deposited sediments, and from it statistical analyzes and rati…
Continental shelves are submerged extensions of the continents, where flat reliefs of an essentially sedimentary nature predominate. They play an important role in the carbon cycle, stand out for the important economic activities that can be carried out in the region and act as an environmental compartment integrating nutrients and potentially polluting substances. Most of the continental…
The continental shelf has great environmental and social importance. It is responsible for one third of the global primary marine production, being a significant sink of organic carbon and presenting a great potential for exploitation of mineral resources. The mudbelts are elongated mud deposits located at the continental shelf and its formation pattern reflects hydrodynamics of the regio…
The main goal of the following proposal is to better comprehend the vertical distribution of living benthic foraminifera in mud-belts at Southwest Atlantic through estimates of redox conditions and food availability in the sediment. This distribution is also unknown in terms of responses of living benthic foraminifera along the sedimentary column, with unprecedented study of the relations…

The following proposal aims to obtain a grant for a 12 (twelve) month international research stay at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) from the Columbia University (New York, USA), to be developed under the supervision of Dr. Peter deMenocal. The research stay will be developed by the candidate as part of the currently in development project entitled "The SW Atlantic during the …
