The Centre for Water and Food Security at Critical Zones has the main goal to improve solutions to problems on water and food security in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, with emphasis in the management water risk at local and regional scale. The basic field and historical inventory information will be focused at spatial critical zones (headwaters, agricultural plots and specific urban are…
This proposal is developed from a project recently submitted to FAPESP - Process 2019/2367-5, cooperation FAPESP-FAPESQ. Since its initial formulation, the proposal was motivated by the need to non-destructively assess the quality of rock blocks used in the production of ornamental stones, especially for the units to be shipped abroad. A multidisciplinary team was then formed with researc…
This research proposal will develop a procedure to deal with the magnetic interference generated by basalt covers that usually obscure the identification of underlying dikes or dike swarms. The magnetic patterns generated by the interference of anomalies from the basalt cover and underlying dikes are not trivial, since the magnetization of the basalt layers at the top tends to be very irr…
Recent studies at a landfill site at the plains of the Tietê River in the city of São Paulo revealed that organic-rich Quaternary sediments are able to generate biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) in enough amounts to compromise the land use of affected places. The biogas tends to encroach in more permeable sediments, preferably in sandstone lenses within the organic-rich sedimentary lay…

The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites, as well as the GRACE Following On (GRACIE-FO) missions, have previously shown success in the literature in representing the redistribution of water on Earth through the temporal variation of its gravitational field. In the study of groundwater, which mostly aims to understand the behavior of water recharge in aquifers, the va…
The existence, quantity and quality of water are essential factors for thepreservation of life and for the sustainable development of human activities.Therefore, the critical management of water resources is not only necessary, butessential. This research aims to contribute to the management and sustainable exploitationof water resources in Critical Zones located in the State of São Paulo…
The air-sparging method has achieved growing importance in the remediation of contaminated areas, mainly those ones with gas-phase substances in the vadose zone of the soil. Its operation is based on infusion of pressured atmospheric air in selected ports down a well in order to remove gas-phase pollutants in upper levels and capture then by suction ports in the near surface. The air-spar…
The Spectral Induced Polarization method (SIP) has been considered a promising methodology for hydrogeophysics and environmental studies. Nordsiek and Weller (2008) developed a new approach to fit SIP data, called Debye Decomposition (DD), where magnitude and phase spectra are considered a superposition of distinct Debye spectra, characterized by a specific chargeability (obtained by mini…

Natural biogeobatteries and methane producing mechanisms in wetlands and contaminated areas are usually studied as separate topics in Biogeophysics. Biogeobatteries are understood as processes with long-range electron transfer from lower anoxic levels until near surface vadose zone; methanogenesis as terminal processes that decompose organic matter in places lacking electron acceptors to …
