Anarda Luísa Sousa Simões

Bachelor's in Geological Engineering from the Federal University of Ouro Preto (2018), Master's in Environmental Analysis from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (2022), currently PhD student in Geology, at the Institute of Geosciences from the University of São Paulo. During graduation, members of groups developed projects on the stratigraphy of the Chapada Diamantina Group (Salitre Formation), the mineralogy of bauxite deposits, the mineralogy and crystallochemistry of pegmatites, and neotectonics aspects in the Iron Quadrangle. The graduation course final paper was about the calc-silicate Gneisses and Granofels of the Dom Silvério Group. Scientific initiation scholarship holder at X-Ray Diffraction Laboratory of the Geology Department of the Federal University of Ouro Preto (2013-2014) and the Research and Innovation Department of the Gorceix Foundation, working on the minerographic analysis of iron ore samples (2017). She has experience in Geology, with micromorphological and microscopic analyses of calcisilicate rocks and iron formations, and in Physical Geography, with an emphasis on surface alterations, soils, and micromorphological and microscopic analyses of ferruginous duricrusts. Her PhD research is dedicated to studying the variations in paleoreosion rates and their relationship with climatic variations in the Amazon Region during the Quaternary period.
