Bachelor's at Geology (2007), master's degree in Sciences (Geochemistry and Geotectonics - 2011) and PhD in Sciences (Mineralogy and Petrology - 2016) from the University of São Paulo. She uses a multidisciplinary approach that includes field geology, petrology, mineral chemistry, geochemistry and geochronology, to investigate igneous and/or metamorphic processes. The PhD research was focused on the study of the timing of the partial melting in migmatites and granulites, using in-situ dating techniques (U-Pb zircon, U-Th-Pb monazite) integrated with petrology, thermobarometry, mineral chemistry of trace elements in major and accessory metamorphic phases to establish PTt paths.

The integration of metamorphic timescales with pressure-temperature (P-T) information derived from rocks formed in the deep continental crust can provide important insights on the understanding of the evolution of plate tectonics in Earth as a response to the secular cooling and rheological changes over time. The petrochronology approach links time (i.e., ages and duration) with P-T data …
Monazite is a robust geochronometer and is widely used for dating high-grade metamorphic events in pelitic and psammitic granulites. Monazite generally displays compositional zoning, and the distribution of trace elements (in particular HREE, Y, and Th) are used to infer its participation in metamorphic reactions. The growth or consumption of monazite can be correlated with the formation …
The small time interval (2-4 Ma) in which the impressive volume of volcanic rocks of the Paraná Magmatic Province (~800,000 km3) was formed requires the use of high precision geochronological techniques (> 0.5 Ma) to determine its chronostratigraphy and, thus, the correct establishment of its geological history. Among the best available temporal markers are volcanic rocks of silicic chara…
The Socorro-Guaxupé Nappe represents a magmatic arc domain with granulites and migmatites which record the collision of the Paranapanema plate with the Sanfranciscana plate, in the Neoproterozoic. The Socorro-Guaxupé Nappe is characterized by an allochthonous pile of three distinct units of lower continental crust: Unidade Granulítica Basal, Unidade Diatexítica Intermediária and Unidade M…
Monazite is a common accessory mineral in metapelites and metapsammites and has been extensively used as a geochronometer for dating high-grade metamorphic events. Compositional zoning and the trace element distribution in monazite, particularly Y and Th, reflects the growth and consumption of monazite in respect to major phases (e.g., garnet, biotite, melt), allowing the participation of…
The temporal link between the mafic intrusive component of Large Igneous Provinces (LIP) and global climate disturbances eventually leading to mass extinctions has been demonstrated for several LIPs (i.e. Siberian Traps, CAMP). The Paraná-Etendeka LIP had less catastrophic effects with only a minor marine extinction during the Valanginian oceanic anoxic event. The release of greenhouse ga…
The Paraná-Etendeka Magmatic Province (PMPE) is one of the world's largest LIPs, with up to 1,000,000 km3 of preserved volcanic rocks, and is related to breakup of Gondwanaland during the Lower Cretaceous. Silicic volcanic rocks (Chapecó and Palmas types) preserve the largest volume (ca. 45,000 km3, of which 15,000 km3 in Brazil) among other continental flood basalt provinces, and are pre…
One of the major challenges in metamorphic petrology is to link the growth of accessory phases such as zircon and monazite, which provides the age information, to the key metamorphic assemblage from which P-T information is extracted. Although zircon and monazite are commonly used minerals for U-Th-Pb geochronology, due to their singular chemical stability during igneous and metamorphic p…
