PhD in Geological Sciences and Geotechnologies and Professor at the Institute of Geosciences and Exact Sciences at Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Research interests are paleomagnetism, the magnetism of rocks, and their application to geological problems. Current interests include the Plio-Pleistocene stratigraphy, the dating of paleontological and archaeological sites, magnetostratigraphy of the Permian-Triassic in the Paraná Basin, and of the Cretaceous in the Santos and Northeastern Brazil basins. Fieldworks in South America (Brazil, Argentina), Europe (Italy, France, Germany, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria), Asia (Jordan, Israel, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan) and the Indian Ocean (IODP 355 expedition). Manager of the UNESP Laboratory of Paleomagnetism and Coordinator of the Undergraduate Course in Geology of UNESP, Associate Editor of Quaternary International, Frontiers, and Alpine and Mediterranean Quaternary journals, reviewer for funding agencies (CNPq, FAPESP) and international journals in the field of geophysics and geology. Invited speaker at international conferences (AGU, INQUA). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Recent Rb-Sr datings of sedimentary rocks from the Recôncavo and Sergipe-Alagoas basins and referred to the Dom João Brazilian local stage provided absolute ages around 230-220 Ma, i.e. Late Triassic. Based on 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, mafic volcanic rocks of the Lavras de Mangabeira basin are associated at the same time interval and correlated with the magmatism of the Central Atlantic Oc…
Mesozoic non-marine sedimentary sequences occur in several basins of Northeastern Brazil, among which are the Rio do Peixe, Araripe, and Lavras da Mangabeira. These successions mostly consist of lacustrine terrigenous deposits with ostracod fauna, which has been used to build a local zonation for the Late Jurassic?-Early Cretaceous (Dom João, Rio da Serra Aratu, Buracica, Juquiá, and Alag…
The Dom João stage is a local chronostratigraphic unit of the Brazilian Mesozoic defined in the Northeast of Brazil. It is considered to precede the rift that broke Gondwana by driving away the South American plate from the African plate. Biostratigraphic studies on ostracods and palynomorphs in several basins from the Brazilian Northeast referred the Dom João stage to the Late Jurassic, …
The Lavras da Mangabeira Basin is a basin traditionally included in the set of the of the Brazilian Northeast's interior basins, linked to the Cretaceous rift of the South Atlantic. It is originated upon pre-Cambrian rocks, it's filling is composed of two sedimentary units, the formations Iborepi and Serrote do Limoeiro, and a basaltic flow between them. From the radiometric dating method…
The Rio Claro Formation is a Cenozoic unit deposited on Paleozoic sediments of the Paraná Basin. Located in the geomorphological province of Paulista Peripheral Depression, center-east of São Paulo state, the unit is composed of fluvial origin deposits delimited by topographic, lithologic and structural conditioners. Many authors proposed ages for the Rio Claro Fm. based on correlations w…
