Abstract

It is intended to develop in the southeastern and northern Brazil, a comparative study involving paleo environmental records (vegetation, climate and dynamics of the marine level) since the mid Holocene (~ last 6000 years and when possible in secular resolution), using pollen, isotopes (C and N) and geochemical analyses of lacustrine sediments and peat bogs, with the possibility of associating biological tracers as diatoms and sponge spicules, when it will have the presence of the same ones. Through the association of these paleoenvironmental studies with recent climatic events that occurred in the North Hemisphere(for example, Warm Medieval Period (WMP), Litte Ice Age (LIA), etc.. It is also the objective of a better understanding of the dynamics of transport of humidity between the regions north and southeast of Brazil, associated with the displacements of the ITCZ (Inter Tropical Convergence Zone) and of the ZCSA (Zone of Convergence of the South Atlantic) during the emphasized period, as well as the influence of these in the events of cold-fronts, etc. (AU)
