Senior Researcher of the Remote Sensing Division (DSR) at the Center of Earth Observation (OBT) of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), where he has worked since 2004. M.Sc. from the Federal University of Pará (1991) and PhD from the University of Colorado Boulder (1996).
She is geologist, specialized in sedimentology and stratigraphy. In her research, she has combined several techniques to acquire geological data in the field and laboratory, as well as geomorphological data derived from remote sensing images. With this strategy, she has contributed to approach key issues related to paleoenvironmental interpretations in a variety of geological terrains of the Brazilian territory, especially those with record of sedimentary deposits formed in the last 30 million years. Geographical areas of special interest in her research have been the northern and northeastern coasts of Brazil, as well as remote areas of the Brazilian Amazonia, where she has been working since 1987.
She was vice president of the International Association of Sedimentology (IAS) from 2010 to 2014, currently pursuing her contribution to this society as a council member representing the South America scientists.
She is a professor of the Graduate programs in Geochemistry and Geotectonics of the Institute of Geosciences at the São Paulo State University-USP and of the Remote Sensing Graduate Program at INPE, having supervised 11 M.Sc., 10 doctors and 16 scientific initiations at the undergraduation level.
She pursues a fellowship in scientific productivity granted by the CNPq (category 1B) and has published 133 articles in scientific journals and book chapters, 3 books, and 193 articles and papers in scientific meetings.
