O Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geologia e Geoquímica (PPGG) do Instituto de Geociências (IG) da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) surgiu em 1976 como uma necessidade de desmembramento do então já em pleno desenvolvimento Curso de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Geofísicas e Geológicas (CPGG), instalado ainda em 1973 nesta mesma Universidade. Foi o primeiro programa stricto sensu de Pós-Graduação (mestrado e doutorado) em Geociências em toda Amazônia Legal. Ao longo de sua existência, o PPGG tem pautado sua atuação na formação na qualificação de profissionais nos níveis de Mestrado e Doutorado, a base para formação de pesquisadores e profissionais de alto nível. Neste seu curto período de existência promoveu a formação de 499 mestres e 124 doutores, no total de 623 dissertações e teses.

Contribuição dos sedimentos e ictiólitos para a identificação do ambiente de formação do Sambaqui do Moa (Saquarema-RJ)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-08-28) MACHADO, Sauri Moreira; SILVA, José Francisco Berrêdo Reis da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1338038101910673; COSTA, Marcondes Lima da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1639498384851302
The Moa’s shellmound is an archaeological site located in Itaúna, Saquarema coastline from the State of Rio de Janeiro. Three moments of occupation were recognized this site: stratum 3 corresponding to the beginning of the occupation of this site basis; 2, intermediate, points to a more intense occupation with great concentration of mollusks, fish bones and human burials; and 1, the most superficial, related to the last occupation. To identify the environmental conditions of development from Moa’s shellmound, sediment samples and zooarchaeological material were collected in these three strata. The zooarchaeological material is represented by microscopic fish remains (ichthyoliths), composed by microteeth with different morphologies: canines, incisors and molars. The sediments according to XRD analyzes are composed by quartz and kaolinite, calcite, aragonite and fluorapatite. The latter is the main mineral of zooarchaeological material, while calcite and aragonite reflect the remains of shells contained there, abundant in this site. The mineralogical analyses were confirmed by chemical analysis, in which high levels of P2O5, CaO and FB (H2O, CO2), account for the fluorapatite, calcite and aragonite. Chemical modifications variations of the C and P in microteeth suggest that these experienced mineralization, an initial fossilization process, post-deposition. The data of stable isotopes 13C and 15N allowed defining the source of organic matter from Moa’s shellmound as marine/brackish, where the vegetation is represented, predominantly, for C3 plants by type of rainforest. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios in ichthyoliths confirm that the environment surrounding the shellmound as estuary. The tooth morphology allowed us to recognize five families previously not recorded for the site, as Labridae, Serranidae, Ariidae, Erythrinidae and Characidae, which confirm the estuarine environment. The age of the Moa’s shellmound by radiocarbon from the sediments showed disruption of stratum 2, causing a reversal of aged strata which can be explained by processes of formation and/or changes in the rivers changed the geological and geomorphological settings area. Another explanation could be human interference, due to the large number of burials (over 30), has upset the order of the moments of occupation from Moa’s shellmound, and possible erosion. The Moa’s shellmound is therefore installed in an area of marine-estuarine transition.

Detecção de mudanças paleoambientais no litoral do Rio Grande do Norte (RN) durante o Holoceno médio e superior
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-08-16) BATISTA, Edson José Louzada; FRANÇA, Marlon Carlos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8225311897488790
The vegetation dynamics during the Holocene on the coastal region of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) was characterized by mangrove establishment, expansion and contraction. The dynamics of this vegetation is mainly related to the sedimentary dynamics and to the relative sea level change (RSL) recorded for this period. During the last millennium, sedimentary process controlled the vegetation dynamics along stratigraphic profiles formed by sequences of active tidal channels, followed by abandonment. Therefore, based on grain size, sedimentary structures, pollen data, isotopic data (δ13C and δ15N), C/N ratio and 14C dating of the sedimentary organic matter of two cores (NAT 6 and NAT 8) sampled in the tidal plain, shows a paleoenvironmental model since mid- to late-Holocene (~7 k yr BP to modern), described by four facies associations: (A) estuary/channel, represented by massive sandy deposits (facies Sm) and mud deposition; (B) abandoned channel, represented by the wavy heterolithic bedding (facies Hw), lenticular heterolytic bedding (facies H1) and small intervals with massive sand (facies Sm); (C) active channel, corresponding to massive sandy deposits (facies Sm); and (D) low marsh (mangroves/herbaceous plain and palms), represented by clay deposits with lenticular heterolithic bedding (facies Hl). In this context, short-time (millennium/century) changes between mangroves and other associated vegetation in this region are not necessarily related to RSL or to the climatic changes (allocyclic process), but to the sedimentary dynamics (autocyclic process) must have controlled mainly the pollen assembly along the stratigraphic profiles studied.

A resposta dos manguezais de um estuário do sul da Bahia sob influência das mudanças do clima, flutuações do nível do mar e dinâmica dos canais durante o Holoceno
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-06-09) OLIVEIRA, Nêdra Nunes; COHEN, Marcelo Cancela Lisboa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8809787145146228
This work integrates palynology, sedimentology, geomorphology and radiocarbon dating, as well as δ13C, δ15N, and C/N from sedimentary organic matter obtained by the description of a core (5,20 m deep) sampled ~8 km from current coastline, 2m above sealevel at Jucuruçu River valley, near the city of Prado, south coast Bahia-Brazil. Based on this core and previously published works, the effects of climate and Relative Sea-level (RSL) changes on Jucuruçu’s mangroves during the Holocene were detailed. Along the studied core two phases were identified and correlated with others sediment cores. The first phase occurred in part of the middle Holocene (7200 - <6950 cal yr BP), developed on a tidal flat colonized by mangrove. It presents a transition from C3 terrestrial plants to marine organic matter upward this phase. On second phase, a fluvial plain developed followed by a mangrove shrinkage and, herbaceous and ferns expansion. At this phase, the biogeochemical data revealed an increased trend to organic matter sourced from freshwater. The integration of palaeoenvironmental data reveals an important RSL rise, which caused a marine incursion inside this river valley and allowed mangroves establishment under a strong estuarine influence, this incursion reached ~23 km upstream during the middle Holocene. The RSL fall at the middle and late Holocene caused a gradual mangrove replacement by mainly herbaceous vegetation associated to freshwater plankton predominance up river, while mangroves and marine algae migrated to the Jucuruçu river mouth. A decrease fluvial discharge during early and middle Holocene most likely favored this mangrove migration pattern and estuarine/marine organic matter spreading upstream. In contrast, probably the mangrove establishment at river mouth up present days was favored by an increase fluvial discharge at late Holocene. Noteworthy is the fact that tidal channels dynamics have controlled mangrove distribution last thousand years. Therefore, this study allowed to identify and to describe the effects of allogenic (caused by climate and RSL change) and autogenic processes (conducted, for example, by channels dynamic).
