The present project aims to evaluate the environmental quality of the Santos, São Vicente and Bertioga estuarine system, which despite having undergone an environmental recovery program, still presents high contamination rates. The system is also submitted to natural impacts, such as the escape of methane gas. The proposal will consist of a multiproxies study, with sedimentological, geoch…

In the last decades, due to the intense industrialization, the Baixada Santista has become a widely populated and exploited place of the state of São Paulo and has undergone a marked process of environmental degradation. Benthic foraminifera have been widely applied to environmental assessment in transicional systems, since they reflect natural and anthropogenic events that occurred in th…
The metropolitan area of Santos is an important region of the country, where the largest port in Latin America and the largest industrial pole in the country are found. The region was urbanized and industrialized from the 1950s in an uncontrolled way, and the industrial activity, with high polluting potential, made the estuary of Santos and São Vicente a great recipient of toxic waste and…
Facing the current concern with climate change, multiple efforts have been made to investigate different sedimentological, geochemical and paleontological proxies that are known for recording past changes of the ocean environment, because only understanding past climate variations will be possible to anticipate and forecast climate changes in the future. The use of proxies, such as bentho…

Benthic foraminifera, single-celled organisms, have been widely applied for the assessment of environmental quality in marine and transitional ecosystems. Many studies have used multiproxies analyses (granulometry, metals and semimetals, total organic carbon, carbon and nitrogen ratio) and application of ecological indices in paleoenvironmental reconstructions. The objectives of this proj…
Many efforts have been made to investigate past changes of the ocean environment due to the current concern with global climate changes multiproxies analyses (sedimentological, geochemical and paleontological) are commonly applied by these studies, and stable isotopes (d18O and d13C) analyses on benthic foraminifera is widely applied in paleoceanographic reconstructions. The objective of …
The aim of the project is the taxonomic study of living agglutinated foraminifera species, present in the Campos and Santos basins, Brazilian southeastern margin. The study material consists of samples of surface (0-2 cm) and subsurface sediments (0-10 cm depth along sedimentary columns), collected in the continental slope of the Santos and Campos basins, between 400 m and 3,000 m water d…
