Paisagens no Tempo e Espaço (PATES)

Methodological Approach

The research in development by this group has multidisciplinary nature and is based on the integration of several methods. These include: 1. geomorphological analysis using multi-sensor data (i.e, digital elevation model, radar, optical images); 2. sedimentological and stratigraphic analyses based on surface and subsurface data (drill core and geophysics); 3. various laboratory analyses aiming the better geological characterization of sedimentary deposits, the establishing of the chronology of events in time and the restoration of flora and fauna patterns in the geological record; and 4) detection of climate change.
