Geologist graduated at the University of São Paulo (USP, 1982), holds Masters (1987) and Ph.D. (1993) in Geosciences (Sedimentary Geology) by the same university. After starting his professional career in the Coal Project of the IPT-USP agreement (São Paulo, 1983) and in the technological characterization sector of Paulo Abib Engenharia (São Paulo, 1984-1987), he became a professor-researcher in the Department of Geology at the Federal University of Paraná (Curitiba, 1988-1997) and, then, at the Geosciences Institute of the USP, where he obtained the titles of Associate Professor (2007) and Full Professor (2013). He works in the area of sedimentary and environmental geology, with focuses on sedimentology, sedimentary petrography and on Quaternary coastal geology. His main lines of research are: analysis of sedimentary dispersion, provenance and paleogeography based on vector (paleoflow) and scalar (facies, textures, heavy minerals, petrography) properties; analysis of facies and Quaternary depositional systems, with emphasis on coastal and eolian systems; beach-dune interactions; reconstitution of the variation of the relative sea level in the Holocene; and geoarchaeology, especially constitution, stratigraphy and time-space distribution of shell mounds. He also has experience in sediment mineralogy and grinding products, focused on characterization for mining and industrial uses. He served as coordinator of the Geology course (2014-2016) and as deputy director of the Institute of Geosciences at USP (2015-2019). He has been a CNPq (official Brazilian research foundation) productivity fellow since 2007. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This project aims to establish the stratigraphic and cronological framework of aeolian depositional systems in the Quatemary of Brazil. To this scientific purpose, two methodological goals are associated. The first one consists in contribute to application, development and diffusion, in Brazil, of new procedures of dating terrígenous Quatemary sediments by optically stimulated luminescenc…
This research project proposes a paleoenvironmental interdisciplinary study since the late Pleistocene for the Espírito Santo coast, southeastern Brazil. One of the study sites comprises the northern region of Espírito Santo State, municipalities of Linhares and Sooretama, where Atlantic forest reserves occur. Two approaches that seek to explain the current vegetation diversity will be st…
We propose the installation of a system for optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, which employs the single aliquot regeneration (SAR) protocol, and the acquisition of a microsampler (micromill) for the collection of samples at the sub-micron scale, with visual control. The OSL-SAR dating system consists of a germanium detector, an automated luminescence reader with a beta radiat…

Coastal regions with continental sedimentary supply favored by the presence of large rivers and with propension to form eolian dune-fields are conducive to the investigation of the relationship between fall or increase of river inflow, promoted respectively by reduction or increase of precipitation, and formation or stabilization of eolian coastal dunes. The São Francisco River mouth plai…
The stability of the reefs structures depends on the preservation of coralline algae skeleton post mortem, since coralline algae binds the reef surface together. There are concerns about coralline algae with the ocean acidification phenomenon, because their skeleton has a high content of magnesium calcite, a mineral very susceptible to dissolution with the decline of the pH in the oceans.…
The Serra da Capivara National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site) region has great archaeological record left by one of the earliest human occupations in the Americas, as well as paleontological ones, related to the abundant remains of the Pleistocene megafauna.Researches on these themes have been developed in the region since the creation of the park in the 1970s. The semi-arid climate of…
