"Associate Professor at the Department of Physical, Chemical, and Geological Oceanography of the Oceanographic Institute at the University of São Paulo. Specialized in geophysics, paleomagnetism, and magnetic properties with applications in the study of climate variations and global events. Participated in the IODP-325 Expeditions in the Great Barrier Reef - Australia in 2010, IODP-344 in Costa Rica in 2012, and IODP-359 in the Maldives in 2015. Also took part in the AMADEUS Oceanographic Expedition, investigating the response of Amazon sedimentation to deforestation, land use, and climate variability in 2012. Additionally, was involved in the Geological Drilling Expedition in Antarctica, ANDRILL-SMS, in 2007 and is a member of the IODP-CAPES-BRAZIL Scientific Committee. Graduated in Geology from the University degli Studi di Roma TRE in 2001, earned a Ph.D. in Geophysics from ALMA MATER STUDIORUM - Università di Bologna in 2005, and conducted post-doctoral research in Paleomagnetism at the University of California, Davis in 2008. Furthermore, serves as a member of the Editorial Board of Marine Geology (Elsevier) and is part of the Pool of Experts (PoE) for the United Nations' "Regular Process for Global Reporting and Assessment of the State of the Marine Environment." Research primarily focuses on the following topics: Magnetostratigraphy, Paleomagnetism, Paleoclimatology, Antarctica, Seismostratigraphy, and General Geophysics." (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Ocean circulation is driven by water masses with different densities. Much of this is generated at the ocean-continent boundary, where near landlocked seas have a restricted connection with the global ocean, allowing them to evolve a different temperature or salinity. These marginal basins often form when continental plates coalesce - the Mediterranean today is a good example of this - or…
The streamer is a marine surface cable, with a buoyant assembly of electrical wires that connects hydrophones, capturing acoustic signals in the water and transferring it to the recording seismic vessel. Multichannel streamers operate with more than one channel, increasing the amount of signal received and therefore the resolution. Multistreamer vessels tow more than one streamer cable to…
Sparker seismic sources generate an acoustic/seismic pulse by discharging an electrical pulse between electrodes located on the tips with a ground point on the sparker body, in the conducting medium of seawater. Some smaller sparker sources can be operated from relatively small (semi inflatable) vessels. In addition to the energy source (capacitor bank) also a seismic recording system mus…

Tropical regions are a major source of heat to mid- and high-latitudes. The Atlantic OceanAtmosphere system is unique as it is the only system that currently transports heat across theequator. Therefore, accomplishing accurate global climate reconstructions, documentation andimplementation of Atlantic climates in large-scale climate models is essential. This, however,has been hampered for…
Basins on Divergent Margins are currently located within the interior of a lithospheric plate (i.e., in the drift stage). Consequently, they exhibit less deformation compared to basins situated on Convergent or Transform Margins. However, a basin in its drift phase is also susceptible to intraplate stress, which can induce significant deformation in its sediments. An illustrative example …
The Brazilian Equatorial Margin (MEB) is located in the western portion of the oceanTropical Atlantic, developed mainly during the Middle Cretaceous after theopening of the central Atlantic Ocean. The continental margin of Brazil is of the typepassive and has remained at approximately the same equatorial latitude since itsformation, standing out with the presence of several offshore basin…

Monsoonal regions worldwide are key locations that shelter several people lives. In South America, limited data hampered our knowledge about the future of South American Monsoon System (SAMS), and thus it remains unclear how it will behave facing the global warming. To constrain accurate models about future monsoon rainfall is critical evaluate paleoclimate data, and thus we will seek rec…
The expansion of continental platforms on passive margins is a topic of debate until today. Some authors argue that the accretion of the continental shelf occurs mainly through the advancement/progradation of fluvial depositional systems over the platform during intervals of relative sea level fall, while others consider the action of marine currents as the main transport agent for deposi…
Tropical regions are an important source of heat for the middle and high latitudes. The Atlantic Ocean-Atmosphere system is unique as it's the only system currently transporting heat across the equator. Therefore, it's crucial to perform accurate climate reconstructions, documentation, and implementation of Atlantic climates in large-scale climate models. However, this has been challengin…

Clinothems are sedimentary units composed of clinoforms, which preserve the past morphology of continental margins over time. By measuring geometric parameters of clinoform morphology, it is possible to identify oceanographic and geological conditions during the formation of continental margins. The Pelotas Basin presents an intriguing opportunity for such investigations, as it is influen…
This report is a proposal for my application for the BEPE Exchange Fellowship, part of my FAPESP Post-Doctoral Fellowship. The period proposed is December 15th of 2023 to December 15th of 2024. My goal is to spend a year working along Prof. Dr. Luca Gasperini, jointly at the University of Bologna and at The Institute of Marine Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-ISMAR)…
The Mesozoic basin system of the Brazilian continental margin and related interior basins are the result of the extensional tectonic processes that caused the breakup of Gondwana and the separation of the African and South American continents. The evolution of these basins involves the rift, transitional, and post-rift stages, during which sediments were deposited and formed significant p…
The Southern Ocean plays a crucial role in the world climate system, modulating air-sea heat and carbon exchange, via upwelling caused by the action of mid-latitude westerly winds, known as the westerlies. The process of upwelling influences significantly on the primary productivity, consequently, affecting the carbon cycle of the Southern Ocean. Reconstructing the primary productivity an…
The temporal link between large igneous provinces (LIPs) magmatism and global environmental changes including mass extinctions have led to extensive studies on cause-and-effects relationship between them. The volatile released from LIPs magmatism (SO2, CO2, HCl etc.) have been hypothesized to have both short term effects (e.g., cooling associated with sulphate aerosols, acid rain, ozone d…
