Degree in Geophysics at the University of São Paulo in 2006, a direct doctorate in Geophysics in 2011 at the same university with a sandwich internship at the Joseph Fourier University (Grenoble, France), Associate Professor at USP in 2022 of Geophysics at USP. He did two postdocs, at USP and at the University of Tübingen, Germany, in 2011-2013 and 2020-2021, respectively. He develops research on mantle geodynamics, lithosphere rheology and interaction between surface and tectonic processes on continental margins. Victor leads the Tectonophysics Group at IAG / USP, contributing to the development and use of numerical codes with a focus on Computational Geodynamics. His research is funded by different agencies (FAPESP, Serrapilheira and CNPq) and by Petrobras. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The Andean orogeny had a profound impact on the evolution of the Amazon drainage system, modifying the climate in South America and the influx of sediments to the interior and marginal sedimentary basins. Additionally, the dynamic of the surface processes of erosion and deposition continually sculpted the landscape and guided the drainage pattern on the continents. Therefore, the correct …
Many geological and geophysical observations show that the Earth's surface is dynamically perturbed by convective processes in the mantle that create an expressive topography component, called dynamic topography, that modifies the subsidence history of sedimentary basins and the evolution of the continents denudation. In spite of its importance, few works show the study of the interaction…
The Earth's tectonic regime evolved over geological history culminating in the present Plate Tectonics. Due to secular cooling of the planet over billions of years, it is expected that in the past, its thermal and rheological structure were different, affecting the deformation pattern of crust and lithospheric mantle over geological time. Previous investigations based on thermomechanical…
Surface processes of erosion and sedimentation result in load redistribution on the Earth's crust, inducing an isostatic and flexural response of the lithosphere, and the wavelength of this response depends on how rigid the lithospheric plate is. Therefore, the combined study of the denudation history of the continents and the isostatic and flexural response of the lithosphere can contrib…
The aim of this project is to simulate the stress state in the interior of the continental lithosphere to evaluate how lateral heterogeneities, like variations in the crustal and lithospheric thickness along with other rheological properties, can affect the geodynamic evolution of the lithosphere under different regional stress regime. A two-dimensional finite element code will be used to…
The stress field in the lithosphere acts controlling the dynamics of the lithosphere, whose action results either in abrupt crustal deformations, such as earthquakes or in long-term, such as continental rifting. In addition, the knowledge of the lithosphere rheology and its dynamic behavior is strictly related to the stress field due to the relationship between stress and deformation. Des…

In the last decade, different geodynamic numerical models were proposed to explain the evolution of the drainage pattern observed in northern South America during the Cenozoic, invoking dynamic topography induced by mantle convection, Andean orogeny, flexure of the lithosphere and surface processes of erosion and sedimentation. Through the use of these numerical models, it was possible to…
