The Amazon Rainforest biome hosts the highest species diversity on Earth and strongly contributes to global climate as a major reservoir of carbon storage. In addition, the Amazon Rain Forest is crucial for atmospheric moisture production and distribution over South America, which supplies surface waters to the world´s largest river system connecting the Andes with the equatorial Atlantic…
The southern Atlantic continental margins contain areas of elevated topography (Bié dome in SW Angola, Borborema plateau in NE Brazil). The origin of this anomalous topography outside areas of active tectonism is controversial: it may be a remnant of tectonic uplift during rifting in the Early Cretaceous, or linked to younger (Upper Cretaceous and/or Neogene) uplift events likely driven b…
The proposal for the one-year visit by of Professor Haakon Fossen aims to build closer scientific collaboration relations between Brazil and Norway, which started in July 2013 with the CAPES-SIU project (2013-10080; 2015-10007). This project, entitled "Integrated orogen-sedimentary basin studies", focuses on scientific interaction between Brazilian and foreign researchers and promotes exc…
The depositonal architecture and the sedimentary processes and products in big rivers are one of the main unsolved aspects of clastic sedimentology, with implications for hydrocarbon reservoir geology and the interpretation of paleogeography, past climate and tectonic evolution in a number of sedimentary basins worldwide. Recent international effort has been directed towards the improveme…

The Amazon River represents the largest drainage basin on the planet and harbors four of the world's ten largest rivers. Its minimally impacted hydrological regime and limited anthropogenic interference in its floodplain make this fluvial system a strong candidate for understanding the sedimentary dynamics of major rivers worldwide. Despite extensive research focus on fluvial systems over…
The aim of this postdoctoral activity is a sedimentological stratigraphic study based on two continuous cores from the Acre and Marajó basins in northern Brazil. The discussion of the sequence of sedimentation events will be integrated as part of the interdisciplinary work of the main research investigation of the Trans-Amazon Drilling Project (TADP). A fundamental aspect of the post-doct…
This post-doctoral project aims at developing geodynamic forward numerical models tailored to test hypotheses and improve interpretations based on the stratigraphic record of three continuous cores from the Acre, Solimões, and Marajó basins in northern Brazil. The cores will be obtained by the Trans-Amazon Drilling Project (TADP), and the sedimentological and stratigraphic information wil…
This postdoctoral research plan has been defined to execute accompanying drilling works at sites TADP-AC-1 (Acre Basin) and TADP-SO-1 (Solimões Basin) and to assess the sedimentological information recorded in the drilled sedimentary successions. The aim is to record and interpret the sedimentological information of drill cores, including sediment grain-size, composition and sedimentary s…
The Acre Basin, located in Western most Brazil, is considered the brazilian continuity of the andean Marañón, Ucayali and Madre de Dios foreland basins (Peru), it is the single brazilian basin where the subsidence was related with the andean tectonic, over the Cenozoic. The Acre Basin is also related to the Amazon drainage basin context, therefore represents a link among the andean tecton…

The study of paleosols is an important tool for the comprehension of continental sedimentary deposits, specially considering the existence of few products of interaction of substrate and atmosphere in the geological record. Its field application comprises subjects such as stratigraphy and paleoclimatology. The doctorate project of the candidate deals with the study of pre-vegetation flood…
