graduated in Geology from Stanford University (1966) with a Ph.D. in Geology from the University of California at Los Angeles (1975). Has experience in Geosciences, focusing on Stratigraphic Paleontology, mainly on the following subjects: Proterozoic and Fanerozoic microbialites (principally stromatolites and microfossils) in Brazil (Paraná Basin and the Ribeira, Paraguai and Brasília belts). Also interested in latest Neoproterozoic climatic changes and biospheric evolution. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This research will investigate vase-shaped microfossils of two formations of the geological record of Neoproterozoic Brazilian, and compare them with other Neoproterozoic events in the world, with the aim of contributing to the knowledge of paleobiological aspects, related to the evolutionary and biostratigraphic appearance of unicellular eukaryotes within teak in ecosystems prior to the …
Understanding the Neoproterozoic takes on importance since rocks from this period were evidence of extreme and unique paleoclimatic events in Earth's geological record, which influence on the life story has not been properly clarified. This doctoral proposal aims to understand part of this history with the study of microbialites and associated structures in Araras Group, in the northern p…
The paleobiology of Proterozoic eukaryotic unicellular organisms is the subject of various lines of research seeking to understand the evolution and diversification of ecosystems prior to the appearance of metazoans. In this context, vase-shaped microfossils - (VSMs) are of primary importance because of their widespread occurrence in rocks as old as 760 Ma and their interpretation as test…
