Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Geociências (IGC) (Institutional affiliation for the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated at the School of Agronomical Engineering of the University of São Paulo (1979), Master of Sciences from University of Cincinnati and PhD in Zoology and Botany at The Ohio State University. Research interests involve the use of fossil pollen and spores in lake sediments in order to reconstruct vegetation and climate of the Quaternary in Brazil. Recent research interests also involve the use of diatoms and other siliceous bioindicators in environmental studies of the Quaternary of Brazil. Research Associate - The Field Museum of Natural History- Chicago (1992-2002; 2015 - Present). Graduated in journalism at the Casper Libero School of Social Comunication in São Paulo, SP, Brazil. Professor of Paleontology and Micropaleontoloy at the Department of Sedimentary and Environmental Geology (DGSA) of the Institute of Geosciences (IGc) of the University of São Paulo (USP).

- Human-environment relationships in Pre-Columbian Amazonia, AP.TEM
Abstract
One of the major research problems of South American Archeology is to explain the unequal process of emergence of social hierarchies, political centralization, and state along the continent. Throughout the twentieth century, archaeologists have proposed that the Central Andres would have been a kind of nuclear area where elements such as urbanism, sedentary life and agriculture would ha...
- Vulnerability of populations under extreme scenarios, AP.PFPMCG.TEM
Abstract
This project will evaluate the impact of past climate change on mountain ecosystems and their genetic diversity from around the world, and forecast potential impacts of future climate change. Employing primarily existing fossil records from Morocco, Cameroon, South Africa, China, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil, VULPES will carry out a multi-disciplinary integration of quantified clim...
- Origins and microevolution of man in the Americas: a paleoanthropological approach (III), AP.TEM
Abstract
Two great innovations regarding the origins of the American man were generated in the last five years, and will be of paramount importance for a radical change in the current ideas about the subject. First, biological anthropologists working in Brazil and USA were able to demonstrate that the cranial morphology of the first known americans, called Paleoindians, has no similarity with th...
- Vegetational and climatic dynamics during the Holocene of the Peruaçu river valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil: palynological evidences, BP.IC
Abstract
The present Scientific Initiation project, linked to the FAPESP-NSF PIRE Thematic Project2017 (Partnership for International Research and Education) Proc. 2017 / 50085-3, has as its main objective to analyze the palynological content, i.e. pollen grains and spores, preserved in the sediments of the Lagoa Azul, located in Cavernas do Peruaçu National Park. Among the objectives of this st...
- Influence of Late Pleistocene climate changes on the Amazon vegetation, BP.DR
Abstract
During the late Pleistocene, several vegetation shifts occurred in the Amazon in response to the series of climatic oscillations that affected both hemispheres. Since the vegetation intrinsically relates to the climate, past climatic oscillations invariably affected plant communities. However, an open question remains concerning how and to what extent these interactions took place due t...
- Montane forests and high altitude grasslands in Serra do Mar and Itatiaia national park during the middle Holocene: paleoecological, paleoclimatical and biogeographical implications, BP.MS
Abstract
The main objective of this study is to test hypotheses of paleovegetational, paleoclimatic and paleoecological interest. The basic premise assumes that during the Middle Holocene, Brazil underwent major environmental changes that caused reconfiguration of several ecosystems. This period is marked by great variation in the relative global sea level, with isotopic oxygen ratios in speleot...
- Tropical and subtropical montane forest communities dynamics in southeastern Brazil and their relationship with global climate change during Late Quaternary, BP.PD
Abstract
This project will integrate palynological and geochemical analyses of peatbogs sediments from high elevation tropical forests along the Atlantic Forest domain in the southeast Brazil. The main aim is to produce high-resolution records of forest species composition in selected forested mountain tops and to evaluate changes in plant diversity and abundance and to investigate how these res...
- Quaternary paleovegetation and paleoclimates of the Atlantic Montane Forest, Serra do Mar State Park, Curucutu Nucleus, São Paulo, Brazil, BP.IC
Abstract
This Scientific Initiation Project (IC) to be carried out at the Laboratory of Micropaleontology the Institute of Geosciences of the University of São Paulo, is directly linked to a Thematic Project FAPESP entitled VULPES- Populations Vulnerability Scenarios of Extremes, Process 2015/ 50683-2 (Agilis system), under the coordination of prof. dr. Paulo E. De Oliveira, advisor of this IC p...
