BSc (Geology, 2000), MSc (Geochemistry and Geotectonics, 2003) and PhD (Geochemistry and Geotectonics, 2008) at the University of São Paulo (Brazil). I am a professor of geology at the Institute of Geosciences of the University of São Paulo (Brazil) and head of the Laboratory of Fluid Inclusions. From January 2007 to June 2014 I was a researcher at the Geological Survey of Brazil (CPRM), where I worked with geological mapping. I have experience in Structural Geology and Metamorphic Petrology and scientific interest in the themes: (1) deformation mechanisms in shear zones with emphasis on the genesis of natural fault-related rocks; (2) fluid circulation in deformational zones and genesis of hydrothermal veins; (3) relationships between deformation and metamorphism; (4) fluid inclusions as tectonic and petrological indicators; (5) microtectonics; and (6) metamorphism and crustal evolution. Since 1998 I have conducted scientific research in the southern Ribeira Belt (Ribeira Valley region, SE Brazil), focusing on issues related to the Brasiliano/Pan African Orogeny. Currently I have conducted research in the Rio Apa Domain of the Amazonian Craton, SW Brazil. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This project aims to investigate the transcurrent shear system that cut the southern portion of the Ribeira Belt (SE Brazil) by means of three main approaches: (a) fluid flow quantification and identification of related seismically activated process by means of the study of fluid inclusions (petrography, microthermometry, laser Raman spectroscopy and trace element analysis by LA-Q-ICP-MS)…
This project aims to use quantitative study of metamorphic processes to unravel the tectonic evolution of the southern Ribeira Belt, its implications to the history of consolidation of the Western Gondwana supercontinent and to contribute to the scientific knowledge on the development of Precambrian orogens. We will study the relationships between the Embu, Apiaí and Curitiba terranes by …
Fluids, from melt to water to CO2, have a profound effect on deformation of the Earth's crust; yet where the fluids come from, how they are transported, and what physical and chemical processes dominate fluid-assisted deformation remains unclear. This is particularly the case for detachment fault zones that bound oceanic core complexes along (ultra)slow-spreading ridges, where fluid-rock …
This Project has the objective of quantifying the large-scale fluid flow along shear zones from the southern Ribeira Belt by means of microthermometric and laser Raman microspectroscopic analyses of fluid inclusions hosted in syntectonic veins. Veins collected in a known structural context (e.g., filling extensional fractures, shear fractures or hosted in metamorphic foliations) will be s…
The Anta Gorda Anticlinorium is located in the Apiaí Terrain (Southern Ribeira Belt), comprising Statherian mylonitic orthogneisses (Núcleo Tigre) and a Calymmian metasedimentary rocks association (Votuverava Group). The metamorphism recorded in the Votuverava Group metapelites range from biotite to kyanite zone. A low-angle shear zone is responsible for intense mylonitization, that affec…
The Embu Terrane is inserted in the central and southern portions of the Ribeira Belt, in the latter case together with the Apiaí, Curitiba and Paranaguá Terranes. It is composed of a lower to upper amphibolite facies metasedimentary rock assemblage with concordant intercalations of calc-silicate, metaultramafic and metamafic rocks and quartzite. This terrane is one of the key elements in…

The project aims to quantify metamorphic and tectonic processes recorded in the Embu Terrane, a major segment of the southern Ribeira Belt, in order to refine reconstructions of the tectonic evolution of the belt. The nature and evolution of the Ribeira Belt are contentious, mainly due to a lack of robust geochronological data, resulting in poorly constrained tectonic models. These models…
The Embu Terrain occurs in the central and southern portions of the Ribeira Belt with the Apiaí, Curitiba and Paranaguá Terranes. It is composed of an association of metasedimentary rocks of lower to upper amphibolite facies, with concordant intercalations of calcissilictic, metaultrafic, metamaphic and quartzite rocks. This terrain is one of the key pieces in the understanding of the geo…
The Southern Ribeira Belt in Southern Brazil comprises several tectono-metamorphic terranes, with their own signature and metamorphic history, delimited by a network of regional scale shear zones. These terranes were accreted and recorded metamorphism and deformation mainly during the Brasiliano-Pan African cycle, related to the consolidation of the Western Gondwana. However, the existenc…
