Graduated in Geology from the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, master's and doctorate in Geochemistry and Geotectonics from the Institute of Geosciences of the University of São Paulo. She was a visiting professor at the Federal University of Ceará, working in the areas of Structural and Regional Geology. She is currently an associate professor at the University of São Paulo and lecturer in the area of Geoconservation. She coordinates the Support Center for Research in Geological Heritage and Geotourism (GeoHereditas), working on geoconservation research aimed at sustainable public policies and protected areas in various regions of Brazil. She was coordinator of the Brazilian Association for the Defense of Geological and Mining Heritage (AGeoBR), term 2020-2022. He is currently the representative for South America of the Working Group on Geological Heritage of the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas, member of the scientific committee of the UNESCO International Geoscience Program (2020-2024) and member of the International Association for Heritage Protection Geology (ProGEO). She coordinates the project to inventory the geological heritage of the state of São Paulo. In 2020 she won the Monteiro Lobato award, from the Brazilian Society of Geology, for her work in the dissemination of geosciences. In 2021 she published the book Patrimônio Geológico Paulista, a journey through geological time in 50 geosites. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Geodiversity is the substrate for the development and distribution of all life forms on our planet, and together with biodiversity, constitutes the concept of natural diversity. Its recognition as an integral part of ecosystems is critical for abiotic elements to be included in broad nature conservation public policies, as impacts to these elements can result in severe losses in the provi…
This project is based on social science methodologies of environmental investigation and in surveying the public and key stakeholders on environmental policy and practice, and in landscape evaluation for assessing geoheritage. This project is based on three linked work packages. WP1 focuses on reviewing and understanding the legislative and policy framework for geoheritage conservation an…

The north coast of the state of São Paulo is composed by São Sebastião, Ilhabela, Caraguatatuba, and Ubatuba municipalities. The rich geodiversity represents geological events of amalgamation and breakup of Gondwana Supercontinent, opening of the South Atlantic Ocean, the formation of Serra do Mar Mountain range, and sea level variations. The region has an expressive state and municipali…
The north coast of the state of São Paulo presents a rich geodiversity, with geological features that characterize a complex evolution related to the formation and rupture of the Western Gondwana supercontinent and is inserted in the central portion of the Ribeira Belt. Geosites are places where geodiversity has high relevance, by recording, through their features, important geological p…
The geological characterization of a geosite is a fundamental part in the achievement of geoconservation measures and in the dissemination of geodiversity. The Geosite Boudins of the Camburizinho Tômbolo is part of the inventory of the geological heritage of the state of São Paulo and of the north coast of the state of São Paulo and has an immense scientific and educational potential, sho…
The Yosemite National Park is a United States national park situated within the western Sierra Nevada Batholith, in Central California. The National Park Service (NPS) is the agency of the United States federal government that manages all national parks of the country. It's a leading institution in the preservation and understanding of the natural resources in the United States, giving at…
Inventories of geological heritage are essential tools to assess the quality and quantity of sites of geological interest in a given area. The information obtained in these studies should precede any deployment of geoconservation strategies and from the quality of its results depend on all actions directed either to land management, science dissemination, popularization of geosciences, ge…
