Fernanda holds a bachelor's degree in Geology (2010-2014) from the Institute of Geosciences (IGc) at the University of São Paulo (USP), and a master's (2015-2017) and a Ph.D. (2018-2022) in Geosciences from the same institution. Currently, she is a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Arts, Sciences, and Humanities (EACH) of the University of São Paulo, focusing her research on the climatic and sedimentary dynamics of the Amazon floodplains during the Quaternary. Her areas of expertise include luminescence dating, provenance analysis, and landscape evolution in the Quaternary. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Amazonian fluvial systems play an important role in the biodiversity of the region, as its large rivers create highly dynamic landscapes, transferring sediments from several sources to distant sinks. The distribution and connectivity of different habitats in the Amazonian lowlands are modulated by water and sediment discharge of the Amazon River, that in turn depend on variations in preci…
The Amazon is known worldwide for its high biodiversity and transcontinental drainage system. Changes in the physical landscape, like drainage expansion and precipitation variation, are recognized as an important driver of biota diversification. The rise of a transcontinental drainage system transformed large floodplains covered by várzeas and igapós into incised valleys limited by terra …
This project aims to study the spatial distribution, structure, texture, mineralogy, and origin of the Spodosols that occur in the Barreiras Formation and under grass vegetation ("Campos nativos"), in midst of the Atlantic Forest preserved in the Linhares natural reserves (northeast of Espírito Santo state, southeast Brazil). The Spodosols - grass vegetation occurs as patches up to 500m w…
The Amazonian drainage system is responsible for creating highly dynamic landscapes as sediments from several sources are transported to distant sinks, playing a crucial role in shaping the biodiversity of this region. Precipitation changes in the headwaters of Amazonian rivers influence the flow of water and sediments in the drainage basin, that in turn can change the distribution and co…
