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…
One of the great challenges of Small Scale Mining is related to the maximum extraction of mineral resources in an efficient, clean and sustainable way, and with a minimum of tailings and environmental impacts. To achieve this optimum relationship between mineral extraction/tailings- environmental impacts it is necessary to have detailed knowledge of the subsurface geology in the region co…
Archaeological evidence of the shape of the Amazonian indigenous villages in the pre-colonial period is rare to be found because of the acidity of the soil of this great Amazon biome. Stilt marks quickly deteriorate in the soil because of the soil leaching caused by torrential rain. However, in the case of stilt villages, due to the fact that archaeological materials are in a bed within r…
Designed as an integrated research program involving both Brazilian and UK researchers 'Nordeste' will attempt to redress this neglect: 1. Through the establishment of a permanent plot network similar to that existing in moist tropical forests allowing measurements of Caatinga canopy structure and dynamics and both their short- and long-term responses to climate change to be evaluated. 2.…
The problems with lack of water for human use and for agricultural use is growing in the worldwide. In the northwestern region of São Paulo State, more precisely in the municipalities of Urupês and Termas de Ibirá, the problems occur primary during the summer due to increased of use of water and the lack of aquifer groundwater recharge. The wells drilled in these regions (usually < 200 m …

Disorderly urban expansion and human interference in natural resources threaten the balance of terrestrial ecosystems. The pollution of surface and underground waters, as well as extreme weather events are consequences of the unsustainable exploitation of the Earth's natural resources. Studies indicate that pollution and deforestation in the so-called Critical Zones are the main factors t…
This post-doctoral research project is part of two individual projects: one supported by FAPESP (2020/15560-5) and the other by FAPEMA (02856/20). Pieces of tree trunks on the lake and river beds are evidence of pre-colonial indigenous populations in the Amazon region. In the entire American continent, these pieces of tree trunks are the only archaeological remnants of pre-colonial settle…
The GPR-Ground Penetrating Radar method has been widely used by researchers for location of underground objects due to its high resolution and quick data acquisition. Until the late 1990 decade tree roots were treated as a noise source and they were discarded as anomalies of interest in radargrams. In the last decade researchers began to use the GPR method as a suitable tool for systemati…
Ambiguities are always present in the interpretation of geophysical data. One way to reduce this unwanted feature is the use of more than one research method in order to obtain a redundancy of information in the studied area. Through the combined inversion of data is possible to make an integrated interpretation of results from different methods. The inversion of the data is made more eff…

This research Project proposes a study in the development of microwave tomographic reconstruction technique. This techinque will be studied as a tool for processing and analysis of GPR data for forensic and archaeological investigations. Geophysical data inversion will be studied in order to evaluate the possibility of electromagnetic properties estimation integrated with microwave tomogr…
The project will be held at the University of Lisbon, Portugal, for a period of nine months under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Fernando Acacio Monteiro dos Santos. Professor Fernando is already familiar with this research since it acts as co-supervisor of the Thesis Project. This season at the University of Lisbon has as main activities the development of algorithms for the forward modeli…
