The continental crust is the primary archive of the Earth's geological history. Furthermore, the continents are where most of us live and where most of the natural resources that we use are stored. The longstanding questions are when the continental crust was generated, and how the processes involved in the generation of the continental crust have changed with time. Combined studies, incl…
Major advances in Earth Science were provided by the ability to measure isotope abundances and isotope ratios directly on solid materials (usually minerals) with high spatial resolution. Major applications include high precision geochronology (e.g., U-Pb dating of zircon, monazite and many other reliable geochronometers), isotope geochemistry of the most important radiogenic (U-Th-Pb, Lu-…
The present Project includes two main themes which are closely linked. Combined studies, including whole-rock chemistry, geochronology, and isotope data are designed to answer the questions about of the growth and evolution of the continental crust as well as geodynamic setting during the Devonian-Carboniferous time of the pre-Andean margin of SW Gondwana. In particular, integrated geochr…
The core goal of this project is to characterize the tectonic evolution of the Rio de la Plata Craton (RPC), the development of the adjacent fold belts, and the interaction with other continental fragments during the development of W Gondwana. Two main lines of integrated action are planned: (i) the application of new geochronological-isotopic techniques using the enhanced instrumentation…

The southern portion of the Mantiqueira Province is formed by the Dom Feliciano Belt, which extends from Santa Catarina to Uruguay. The Florianópolis Batholith crops out in the state of Santa Catarina and corresponds to significant Neoproterozoic magmatism, being composed of granitic suites. Isotropic to deformed equigranular to porphyritic syeno to monzogranites occur in the northwest re…
The São Gabriel Terrain (SGT) is the only crustal segment in Southern Brazil composed of Tonian juvenile rocks, representing one of the best preserved remnant of ophiolitic complexes existing in Western Gondwana. The SGT comprises a succession of arc-related associations (metavolcano-sedimentary and orthogneisses complexes, accretionary prism association with ophiolitic complexes) and pas…
The Itajaí foreland basin represents the north-northwest peripheral domain of the Dom Feliciano Belt, Southern Brazil. The basin was set and deformed during the late stages of Neoproterozoic orogenic cycle through the interaction between the Rio de La Plata, Congo and Kalahari cratons. The area of study has been mapped for decades altough questions about the local stratigraphy and deforma…

During the Ediacaran period, foreland basins likely played a crucial role in the evolution of macroscopic life by enhancing nutrient availability through sediment accumulation derived from the erosion of Neoproterozoic mountain belts, capturing complex interactions between large-scale tectonic forces, shallow crustal dynamics, climate, and denudation. Understanding the kinematics and time…
The emerging paradigm of rapid metamorphic timescales (<10 Mry) estimated by geospeedometry and high-precision geochronology in modern continental collision zones, challenges the traditional notion that metamorphism faithfully records the steady-state nature of tectonothermal processes. The exceeding fast rates of metamorphic processes started to appear in the geological record at the end…
Accretionary orogens exhibit a distinctive feature of abundant juvenile components (newly mantle-sourced) and discerning the origin of these components is imperative in order to understand the process of crustal formation. In ancient orogens, where only remnants of the original arc systems remain intact, the study of magmatic and metamorphic crustal processes can be hampered due to geolog…
Although Paleontology is often seen as a science developed in dark corridors and dusty drawers of museums and university collections, this could not be further from the truth. Recent technological developments often applied in Physical, Chemical and Medical Sciences are now widely applied to paleontological investigations and have dramatically impacted in major questions in this field of …
