Undergraduate in Geology at the Universidade de São Paulo (1983), master's at Physical Oceanografy from Universidade de São Paulo (1987) and doctorate at Biological Oceanografy from Universidade de São Paulo (1992). Has experience in Oceanography, focusing on Sedimentology of the continental margin. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

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 …

The northern inner continental shelf of the State of São Paulo is favorable for developing areas with high rates of muddy Holocene sedimentation due to the existence of an irregular coastline and a set of islands that attenuate the action of waves on the area. The area is bordered by Serra do Mar in its coastal limit, characterized by high rainfall and great potential for landslides and t…

Dr. Lobo will participate in joint research about the shallow stratigraphy of the upper margin of Santos and Pelotas basins as well as offer a post-graduate course. (AU)
Ocean bottom currents play a central role in the marine system. They transport water masses across the globe while distributing sediments, isotopes and nutrients, as well as reshaping the ocean floor along their path. While the mapping of present-day ocean bottom currents relays on direct measurements, reconstruction of paleo-currents is based on specific stratigraphic indicators, such as…
Studies on muddy depocenters on the Brazilian shelf have been developed since the 1970s on the basis of the REMAC Project (Kowsmann and Costa, 1979), but have been intensified since the beginning of this century by increasing the capacity of research centers (eg, Mahiques et al., 2009, Nagai et al., 2009, Reed et al., 2009, Gyllencreutz et al., 2010, Dominguez et al., 2013). The importanc…

The grain-size properties of sediment constitute one of the pillars for the characterization of seafloor environments, as well as for the paleoceanographic reconstitution of sedimentary environments. This project aims to recognize the temporal variability of the Antarctic Intermediate Water W flow using grain-size data. Two key questions are presented1. Have there been changes in grain-si…
The southeastern continental margin of Brazil, north of Florianópolis, presents a unique feature, in terms of circulation. In that area, a system of currents with an inverse flow is developed (Brazil Current - Intermediate Western Boundary Current). The purpose of the project is to associate echo character patterns with this circulation system.
There is no in-depth study on the sedimentological characteristics of Mudbelts identified in the South and Southeastern Brazilian Shelf, and the objective of this scientific initiation project will be to make the analysis and characterization of samples of different Mudbelts defined in the thematic project.
This project aims to produce a calibration of marine proxies derived from marine sediments and in tests of three species of planktonic foraminifera in order to improve the reconstructions of the paleotemperature in the Brazilian South-Southeast continental margin, since it lacks of a calibration and, consequently, the temperature estimates are imprecise. The material that will be analyzed…

Sedimentary processes are important geological phenomena in evolutional history of continental margins. These processes are controlled by environmental forces from various temporal and spatial scales. Due to the fast increase of anthropogenic activities in marine environments, these studies on sedimentary processes and their consequent deposits are becoming increasingly necessary. Geophys…
