The development of remote sensing technologies in the last decade has lead to an exponential growth of available information about the Earth's surface. Among such advances, one can mention high-resolution orbital imagery with stereoscopic geometry allowing the generation of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), airborne or terrestrial LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging), and, more recently, ap…

In this research project we propose the extraction of geological/geomorphological information from three- dimensional surfaces generated by two methods, Terrestrial LiDAR and Structure from Motion. Four study areas/subjects were pre-selected: the Garopaba dune field (Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil), outcrops with occurrences of clastic dikes near Ipeúna/Rio Claro (São Paulo State),…

Debris flows and debris floods are among the most destructive types of hydrogeomorphologic processes. The potential to transport a variety of materials over long distances is one of the main causes of the destruction of urban infrastructures and human losses. There are many triggering factors related to debris flows and debris floods, highlighting the watershed dynamic and its morphometry…
Understanding the paleogeography of continents through time is crucial to constrain the geodynamics of the Earth. In this sense, the reconstruction of the Columbia supercontinent, its rupture and the subsequent formation of the Rodinia supercontinent are constantly debated. Despite the growing collection of paleomagnetic data for the possible constituent cratons of Columbia, the geodynami…
The global number of landslides cases has increased due to greater urbanization and land use, as well as higher frequency of extreme climatic events. Since these events have strong social and economic impacts on Brazil and worldwide, they are considered one obstacle for the sustainable development according to the United Nations (UN). Studies conducted to date aim to find landslide prone …

Shallow landslides are a frequent kind of mass movement in Brazilian territory. Thecreation of shallow landslide inventories is important for understanding the relation betweenconditioning factors and landslide occurrence. They are important for the analysisof susceptibility, vulnerability, and risk, besides being useful for urban planning. Thus, thegeneral aim of this research is the cre…
