The project proposes acquiring a Variable Pressure Scanning Electron Microscope (VPSEM) to enhance research in the fields of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences in São Paulo. Since the 1940s, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been essential for studying soils and sediments, becoming a crucial scientific tool. The VPSEM, a recent technological evolution, offers significant advanta…
Agriculture plays a crucial role in tackling climate change, which is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. In addition to the climate issue, efficient waste management, in which the urban and mineral sectors play an essential role, will be fundamental in pursuing sustainable development. In this context, this project is based on the hypothesis that it is possible to reuse ci…
Brazil is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of food, feed, fiber and (bio)fuel. Estimates indicated that the country would need to increase food production in 40% to meet global demands by 2050. Meanwhile, tropical agricultural systems have to be important allies to sequester carbon (C) and reduce greenhouse gases emission, and consequently, contribute to mitigating clima…
Sandy soils have low natural fertility and low water retention; therefore, they have restrictions for agricultural use. This proposal aims to promote exchange activities between the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and North Carolina State University (NCSU) in the USA to study the effects of fine-grained materials addition to sandy soils, as a soil conditioner (i.e., claying). This…
The environmental disaster that occurred after the collapse of the Samarco mining company's tailings dam in Mariana - MG in 2015 had a major impact on the environment and people's lives, exposing them to potentially harmful elements (PHEs). These elements can generate diseases in the medium and long term, and for this reason, it is necessary to ensure health surveillance in this populatio…
Iron (Fe) mining plays a crucial role in the global economy. However, the - increasingly frequent - failures of dams containing mining tailings require environmentally safe and economically sustainable solutions. The mining tailings deposition over natural and agricultural ecosystems raises concerns about risks to human health, especially in estuarine environments, where the dissolution o…

Mangroves are coastal ecosystems characterized by high primary productivity, intense biogeochemical dynamics, and organic carbon accumulation in anoxic environments. Their ability to sequester carbon over the long term, conserve biodiversity, and provide essential ecosystem services positions them as strategic elements for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and mitigating …
Mangroves are coastal ecosystems that provide various ecosystem services, including a high capacity to sequester carbon in their soils. However, these ecosystems are among the most affected by climate change, with several predicted environmental impacts, such as sea level rise, reduced freshwater input from the mainland, and increased salinity levels. In this context, understanding the me…

Brazil stands out as one of the main producers of mining waste and construction debris, lacking an effective and sustainable system for their disposal, which generates significant environmental problems in the disposal of these wastes, such as dam ruptures and depletion of landfill space. As a consequence, in addition to producing a large volume of economically worthless waste, these huma…

The chemical composition of the soil of the Rio Doce estuary was affected after the input of Fe-rich tailing from the Fundão dam burst in 2015. Since then, studies have been carried out on the role of Fe oxyhydroxides on the dynamics and bioavailability of potentially toxic elements (PTE) under a redox-active environment. The solid phase distribution of Fe and PTE has been determined usin…
Iron mining (Fe) is one of the most important economic activities and population growth, rising global average income and changes in the energy matrix have increased the demand for metals. Brazil is the second largest producer of Fe in the world, more than half of the existing dams in the country are classified as "high risk" or with "high potential for associated damage". In this sense, …
Catastrophic rupture of dams containing mine have been increasing worldwide and rising environmental pollution. Phytomining is a plant-based technology with great potential to decrease the threats associated with mine tailings spills and to provide potential economical rewards through bio-ore production. Although iron (Fe) ore is the major ore globally produced, generating large amounts o…
