Aspectos neotectônicos e ecologia da paisagem em parte da área dos municípios do NE do estado do Pará (Tucurui, Baião, Breu Branco, Goianésia, Moju e Tailândia)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-10-30) SOUZA, Francileide de Fátima Rocha; BORGES, Maurício da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1580207189205228
This work inside investigated the aspects of the landscape and geologic and geomorphological evidences of the neotectonic context in the region that understands the Tucurui Cities until Thailand (Pará). In this region the incidence of neotectonics processes was responsible for the generation of structures, sedimentary sequences, standards of draining net (Basin of the Tocantins River) and relief System. For execution of this study had been used Landsat ETM+ images for the digital processing in platform ENVI 4,0, digital Models of rise supplied by the SRTM/NASA and images of radar SAR analysis of the relief, draining and recognition of the lineaments expressives, analogical bases elaboration of cartographic bases in environment ArcGIS 9.1. The Analysis of the relief, in the investigated area, allowed to identify as genetic groups: ) Group of Degradation - Constituted of System of Mountain ranges (Mountain range of the Trucará) with flattened topos of amplitude varying between 253 and 290 meters, System of Mounts with angular topos up to 180 meters and Colinoso System with 0 amplitude varying it enters m (base level) up to 120 meters, which constitute most of the paisagística expression; b) Group of Agradação - Englobando Aluvial Plain Systems and System of Fluvial Terraces. These systems are shown with geometrias whose joints if give through the installation of discontinuities, characterizing morfoestrutural compartimentação. The integration of the data, deriving of the analysis of the relief, as well as the characterization of the anomalies of draining and the discontinuities, allowed to the recognition of "landorfms" elementary schools tectonics associates the beams of guided lineaments the E-W, NW-SE, NE-SW and N-S. The joint enters beams of neotectonics imperfections gives way to define one extensional romboedro to south of the parallel 3030"S. The romboedral structure is defined by the arrangement between beams of guided discontinuities to NW-SE, with symmetrical trend and apparent transtensive nature and guided beams of discontinuities the E-W, to the center of the area, with probable dominant component "strike-slip". This geometry is cut by to complicate structures guided to NE-SW. Three main beams of guided discontinuities the N-S affect the inquiry area, and represent "landforms" elementary schools tectonics with extensional trend. These structures had been interpreted as decurrent of the reactivation of the Cinturão Araguaia. They are organized in an anti-symmetrical structure with dominant diving for East and in the height of the meridian 49038W they seem to have strong bond with the tracing of the Tocantins River and imposes fort has controlled to the quaternary deposits. The draining net adjusts it to these standards of structural tropia readily, which answer for the presence of anomalous feições as arcs and elbows, and for the installation of standards in treliça, with strong asymmetry, some partially interpreted as treliça of imperfection. Morfogênese of the area in appraise, in that it concerns to its tectônics aspects was admitted as tied to the performance of a binary guided dextral the E-W, fruit of the dynamics established for the current phase of drift of the American South Plate for West.

Avaliação e aplicação de dados de sensores remotos no estudo de ambientes costeiros tropicais úmidos, Bragança, norte do Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2000-11-17) SOUZA FILHO, Pedro Walfir Martins e; EL-ROBRINI, Maâmar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5707365981163429
The study site is situated in the Cretaceous Bragança-Viseu coastal basin. The holocenic evolution of this area is marked by muddy progradation over a submerging coast, where is developed one of the most mangrove system of the world, with almost 6,000 km2. This research has showed that orbital remote sensing data can provide excellent geologic and coastal land use information. The SAR RADARSAT-1 imageries represent a powerful tool to understand the coastal processes in the wet tropical environments, mainly in the mangrove coasts. This fact is related to microwave radiation can be interpreted for Amazon coastal zone mapping and monitoring, because SAR image constitutes in the unique source of data with all-weather remote sensing capability, in response to difficulty to get optical images in the Amazon, due to all-time cloud cover. Landsat TM imageries are excellent data sources to integration with RADARSAT-1. They present a good performance in coastal environments discrimination. The remote sensing data integration allow a synoptic view of the area and provide geobotanic (relation between coastal environment and vegetation) and multitemporal information. In addition to integrated data, geographic information system (GIS) combines different data sets and simultaneously interprets the spatial and temporal relationship between various coastal environments. This way, GIS allows for a more comprehensive, accurate and easier interpretation of a geomorphologic mapping under an organizational philosophy to control data towards use the information to coastal zone management. The application of remote sensing data in the tropical coastal studies was used in different approaches. In relation to spatial and temporal variability of the shoreline, this study has revealed that during the Holocene, the coastal plain is marked by a muddy progradation. However, from the analysis of the remote sensing images were possible investigate the shoreline variability under long (1972-1998) and short (1985-1988, 1988-1990, 1990-1991) term, which is characterized by shoreline retreat, probably due to climatic changes, such as El-Niño and La-Niña events. These climatic events control the rainfall along the coastal zone, where severe erosional period (1985- 1988) are coupled with high precipitation rate (> 4,000 mm/yr.). From the point of view of the spatial analysis of the coastal changes, the mangroves constitutes one of the most environments to be analyzed by remote sensing images, as in the electro-optical spectrum due to their high reflectance in the infrared, as in the microwave due to their rough surface responsible for high backscattering. Therefore, mangroves have showed to be an excellent geologic indicator to detect and to quantify short and long-term morphological coastal changes. To conclude, remote sensing data integration, GIS and auxiliary fieldwork data present a fundamental role to the integrated coastal zone management, environmental risk assessment, local characterization of the study sites, base maps upgrading and information dissemination for public consultation, which are all significant factors in this decision-making process.

Caracterização geomorfológica estratigráfica e geoquímica da Planície Costeira do município de Itarema-CE.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-09-01) PEREIRA, Lamarka Lopes; FREIRE, Geoerge Satander Sá; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6803944360256138; 6803944360256138; EL-ROBRINI, Maâmar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5707365981163429; 5707365981163429
The Itarema coastal plain, situated at the western coast of Ceará, in the area dominated by the Cenozoic sedimentary cover. This thesis shows the geomorphological, sedimentological and geochemical features of this coastal plain. The Itarema coastal plain is subdivided in two major morpho-structural units: pre-coastal ¨plateaus¨ and coastal plain, that is subdivided into lithostratigraphic units, lagoon plain, tidal plain with and without mangroves, marine and fluvial plain, mobile and fixed dunes, beach ridges, tidal channels, sand bars and beaches. The supply and sediment transport in the area are closely linked to the climatic, meteorological and oceanographic conditions. The sedimentary, stratigraphy, geomorphological and geochemical data have been defined: (1) five lithological units: Lagoon Deposits, dune deposits, eolianits deposits, beach deposits and alluvial deposits and (2) seven lithofacies: mud sandy, mud, Sand mud, fine sand, medium sand, thick sand, conglomeratic sand-clay with different characteristics which have been drawn through the lateral and vertical correlations, thus allowing the interpretation of depositional paleoenvironments related to the evolution of the Itarema Coastal Plain. The analysis of the lithological units allowed the reconstruction of the processes indicative of a transgressive sucession prograded during which the lagoon-barrier system was installed on the system of alluvial fans, the bus of small streams, forming the lagoon plain, it was also noted that the lagoon has undergone changes in their size both by progradation of the barrier and subsequently by the deposition of sediments within the same wind. The Itarema coastal plain presents physiographic features of an coastal promontory or embaiments of central nuclei as a spiral, that would have provided the evolution to the current environment and the current model of coastline with beaches of the barrier beach-type and suggests that is occurring repetition in the construction of comparative morphology morphogenetic active in the region's past.

Compartimentação geomorfológica e processos deposicionais no megaleque fluvial do rio São Lourenço, Pantanal mato-grossense
(2012-12) CORRADINI, Fabrício Anibal; ASSINE, Mario Luis
The Pantanal wetland is an extensive depositional tract characterized by the presence of fluvial megafans, from which that of the Taquari River is the most extensive and well known. Located on the northern border of the Pantanal, the São Lourenço megafan is a large distributary fluvial system with an area of 16,000 km², but poorly known regarding its geomorphological and geological features. The Sao Lourenço and the Taquari are coalescent megafans, having the Piquiri interfan meander river in between them. Based on the interpretation of satellite images and field validation, it was possible to identify channel patterns, to interpret depositional and erosional processes, to recognize the phenomena of river avulsion and to map depositional lobes. Three geomorphological zones were recognized on the São Lourenço megafan: 1) abandoned depositional lobes located in the upper/intermediate fan, composed of Pleistocene fluvial deposits and exhibiting distributary paleochannels on their surfaces, which are currently being dissected by tributary channels; 2) an active Holocene confined meander belt formed by fluvial aggradation in a N65E incised-valley; 3) active depositional lobes placed on the distal part of the system, which are the main site of sedimentation and are characterized by frequent avulsion events, channel bifurcation, distributary drainage pattern and the presence of depositional lobated landforms. The active depositional lobes were formed due to an important event of river avulsion that caused the lower portion of the meander belt to be abandoned.

Compartimentação morfotectônica do interflúvio Solimões-Negro
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2003-11-26) BEZERRA, Pedro Edson Leal; SILVA, Maurício Borges da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1580207189205228
From the morphostuctural and morphotectonic analysis integrated to the informations of remote sensing images, litoestratighaphy , geomorfology , the seismic data and field investigations was defined the neotectonic structuration and its influence in the elaboration of the relief forms and drainage net during the Upper Tertiary and Quaternary. This relation is shown through the morphotectonic compartimentation of the Solimões-Negro watershed, subject of this research (SA.20-Manaus Sheet). The discussions concentrated in the area of the cenozoics covers which overlay the east and west borders of the Solimões and Amazon paleozoics sedimentary basins, respectively. This area occupies about 290 000 km2, and is situated between the parallels 0° and 4° S and meridians 60° and 66° WGr, in the Amazonian region, involving parcels of Amazon and Roraima States. The geologic units formed during, or imediatelly after, the implantation of the neotectonic regimen are represented by: 1) the Içá Formation formed after the Miocene, probably of the Plio-Pleistocene age; 2) the Pleistocenics Terraces; 3) the Holocenics Terraces; 4) the inundatable watersheds areas of holocenic age; and 5) the Holocenics Alluviums. The modelling of the landscape for the drainage net evidences a relief compartimentation at plains systems, linked to the actual fluvial dynamics, and depressions, normally leveled by a planing surface formed in the Middle Pleistocene, in retaken by erosion, and preserved on tabular watershed. The neotectonic structuration has a direct relationship with the regeneration of the discontinuities of the paleotectonic structuration, that is, with the resurgent tectonic . This old estructuration is defined by: 1) Tacutu Lineament of NE-SO orientation, that show continuity to the northwest quadrant of the area; 2) the Madeira Lineament, also of NE-SO orientation that section the Southeastern quadrant; 3) the Purus Arc with NW orientation that establishes the limits between the Solimões and Amazon basin; e (4) minors lineaments as the Juruá and the Japurá ones, of E-O direction, defined outside of the domains of the research area. The neotectonic tensions field was alliviated through two kinematics pulses of essentially transcorrent nature. In the first pulse, occurred immediately after the inversion of the Amazonian Occidental drainage for east, had established the main corridors of drainage in the predominant NE-SO direction through the northeast of Amazonas and Roraima states in the brasilian territory, reaching the Guyana Republic and the Atlantic Ocean through rift valley of the Tacutu. The second one, predominantly transtensive, occurred in the Upper Pleistocene /Holocene, provoked the redirectioning of this system for the Amazonas hidrographic basin, and answers for the actual configuration of the relief and drainage net. The Relief Systems are differentiate for the degree of development of the drainage net, showing a evident gradation from the most evolued to the less evolued, that is reflected in the configuration of the watershed and its dimensiona, and that register the history of the implantation of the neotectonic structural picture and its geometric and kinematic differentiations. This register is represented through five morfotectonics compartments, called: Juruá River - Purus River Tanspressive Compartment; Madeira River - Purus River Transcorrent Compartment; Negro River- Japurá River Trancorrent Compartment; Negro River - Solimões River Trantensive Compartment; and the Branco River- Negro River Transtensive Compartment. The morphostructural and morphotectonic evolution occurred from southwest to northeast. So, the drainage net show best developed in the Juruá River — Madeira River Compartment; it is in development in the central zone formed by the Madeira River - Purus River, Negro River-Japurá River and Negro River- Solimões River Compartments; and show a initial stage of development in the Negro River- Branco River Compartment. In the northeast border of the Negro River Japurá River Transtensive Compartment, the development of the drainage net is composed, showing features of initial stage, as the amorphous and multibasinal pattern, with other typicals features of drainage net in development. The structures of the Juruá River Purus River Compartment are generated by inverse faults in the Upper Tertiary. In the the Madeira River - Purus River and Negro River — Japurá River compartments they are dextrals directional faults with component of oblique slip, probably of the reverse type in the Tertiary Superior and normal in the Pleistocene; in the Negro River - Solimões River Compartment they are mainly normal and oblique-dextrais types in the Upper Pleistocene. The Negro River- Branco River Compartment configures a wedge structure with oblique movement in the northwest and east borders, and extensional in its central zone, with evolution initiated in the Upper Pleistocene extending to the Holocene. Recent activity of some of these faults is marked by seismic events with intensities that arrive 5,5 mB.

The structure of the macrobenthic communities was characterized in different climatic periods and areas of the Reserva Biológica do Lago Piratuba (Amapá-Brazil). The samplings occurred on June and November of 2005 (Meridional belt lake - lakes Comprido de cima, Bacia, Lodão, Grande, Comprido de Baixo, Canal Tobaco and estuary of the river Araguari) and of 2006 (eastern belt lake - lakes Piratuba, Jussara, Escara, Trindade, Maresia, Boiado and the Duarte stream and seven places in the coast (areas vegetated and not vegetated). At each site four samples had been collected, with a corer (0.0079 m2) buried 20 cm in the sediment. After collection samples were passed in a 0.3 mm mesh and the retained organisms were fixed in formalin 5%. The structure of the communities varied seasonally, with severe modifications in density, specific composition, richness, eveness and diversity among sampling occasions and environments (lakes/coast). A total of 54 taxa had been identified belonging to phyla: Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca and Nemertea. In the rainy seasonal it was recorded 36 taxa, and in the dry seasonal 42 taxa were recorded. Annelida was the most abundant taxon, representing always more than 48% of total organisms. In the lakes Insecta larvae, Mollusca and Oligochaeta were the dominant taxa. In the coast, Polychaeta and Crustacea were dominant. It was recorded 32 taxa in the lakes and mean density of 667 ind.m-2. In the coast 34 taxa were recorded and 1353 ind.m-2. The coastal non-vegetated area was richer and denser and showed the higher eveness. Benthic fauna from the Meridional belt lake and the Eastern belt lake behavioured distinctively among seasons. Three sub-environments had been identified based on the benthic fauna: freshwater environment - majority of the lakes of the Eastern belt, dominated by insects; transition environment (freshwater/coast) with mixed fauna (Polychaeta and Insecta); and coastal environment, with Polychaeta and Crustacea. The environmental characteristics best correlated with spatialtemporal changes in the benthic communities structure were water pH, electric conductivity and turbidity.

Marajó island or ilha Grande de Joanes had important role in the process of colonization of the Amazon. Its geographical position was considered strategic to ensure the safety and the supply of land located on the northern border, in addition to contributing directly and indirectly in the expansion of the border with the Spanish limits. Similarly, prominent role in the provision of genres and cattle to supply neighbouring areas, in particular, the State capital. The labor quota available was significant and removed for a long time the needs of the residents of the Crown itself, due to intense missionary activity developed with the Indians of that archipelago. In the period, the ancient villages Pombaline became towns and the indigenous peoples who lived there have been inserted in a new working relationship directed to ensure the continuity of its role. The resistance of the Indians of Brazil and its constant movement on the border.

This work compares the vegetation and morphological changes occurred along the littoral of the Marajó Island, Amazonian littoral, and the coastal plain of the Rio Doce, southeastern Brazil, during the Holocene and late Pleistocene/Holocene, respectively, focused specifically on the response of mangroves to sea-level fluctuations and climate change, which have been identified in several studies along the Brazilian coast. This integrated approach combined radiocarbon dating, description of sedimentary features, pollen data, and organic geochemical indicators (δ13C, δ1₵N and C/N). On coastal plain of the Doce River between ~47,500 and ~29,400 cal yr BP, a deltaic system was developed in response mainly to sea-level fall. The post-glacial sea-level rise caused a marine incursion with invasion of embayed coast and broad valleys, and it favored the evolution of a lagoonal/estuary system with wide tidal mud flats occupied by mangroves between at least ~7400 and ~5100 cal yr BP. Considering the Marajó Island during the early and middle Holocene (~7500 and ~3200 cal yr BP) mangrove area increased over tidal mud flats with accumulation of estuarine/marine organic matter. It was a consequence of the marine incursion caused by post-glacial sea-level rise, further driven by tectonic subsidence. Dry conditions in the Amazon region during this time led to a rise is tidal water salinity and contributed to mangrove expansion. Therefore the effect of relative sea-level (RSL) rise was determinant to the mangrove establishment in the southeastern and northern region. During the late Holocene (~3050 – 1880 cal yr BP) the mangroves in both regions were retracted to a small area, with some areas replaced by freshwater vegetation. This was caused by the increase in river discharge associated to a wet period recorded in the Amazon region, and considering the coastal plain of the Doce River (southeastern Brazil), the mangroves shrank in response to an increase in fluvial sediment input associated to a sea-level fall.

This work investigated the physical parameters of the model of landscape of the Island of the Mosqueiro, in the Northeast of the State of Pará, in the Amazon region, using itself of investigative strategies that allowed insertions in the ambient order. In this chance the activities in the area of the geoprocessing. In the ambient context had been privileged this work present products of integration and other unknown ones whose idea is of instrumentalizer the local governmental politics, aiming at to contribute for improvement of the relation of the model of antropic occupation of the landscape versus maintenance of the quality and ambient preservation, in view of the necessity of if establishing a structure of adequate development to the current scenes. The importance of the District of Mosqueiro for Belém is unquestionable. Its history and tourist potential are peculiar; beyond the one that the island if establishes as important component to the social life, artistic, cultural and sporting of the majority of the population that composes the great Belém. To the long one of the time, the Island of the Mosqueiro was scene of many landscapes transformations. The performance of litologics, pedologics local factors as to those of order, of relief and, more recently, antropics, is used to explain the current arrangement of the landscape. In this direction the ecology of the landscape is presented as important boarding integrator for the search for the agreement of the Neogenic evolution. Inside of the flowing varied ones of studies on the shaped one of the landscape, it was opted to multitemporaly evaluating the evolution of the systems natural and constructed (landscape diversity), as well as the unknown application of metric of the landscape quantifying the current landscape situation and its possible future ambient impacts, ahead of the current strategies of occupation. Moreover, it searched integration of different variable as the ground, geology, geomorphology, neotectonic and the vegetal covering and use of the land of the Island of the Mosqueiro, for the attainment of the vulnerable areas the processes that are inserted in the dynamics of the same one, the example of the erosion. Thus, in the conduction of this research in the Island of the Mosqueiro the application sources had involved: geoprocessing; digital processing of images; metric of the landscape; and statistics and algebra of maps. The primordial data to this work had been: images of the Landsat satellite; deriving cartographic products of the aerophotogrammetry survey of Belém-PA; map of detailed ground survey; geology map; and information collected in field. The applicatory ones used for the attainment of the results had been the following ones: SPRING (version 4.0/Windows); ARCVIEW (version 3.3/Windows); SURFER (version 8.0); and FRAGSTATS (version 3.0). Amongst the main results reached in the study of the landscape of the Island of the Mosqueiro, they are distinguished: maps that portray the occupation dynamics (multitemporal analysis); space analysis of the current landscape structure (application of metric of the landscape); evaluation of geomorphology changes; framework current of the tectonic regimen (tectonics imperfections); and, finally, the map of vulnerability to the erosion.

Evolução multitemporal (2010-2024) do canal de acesso do estuário do rio Amazonas (canal Norte - baía de Macapá - margem ocidental)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-02-27) SILVA, Eduardo Pantoja da; EL-ROBRINI, Maâmar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5707365981163429; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7850-1217
The Amazon River, the world’s largest by water volume, has an average discharge of approximately 209,000 m³/s and exhibits a semidiurnal tidal range that varies from 0.3 m to 4 m during spring tides. Its vast watershed profoundly shapes the geomorphology of the Amazon Basin, driving sedimentary processes and directly affecting navigability. The economic importance of navigation within its estuary contrasts sharply with the challenges posed by both natural and anthropogenic alterations, which compromise the long-term stability of the channel. This dissertation analyzes the geomorphological evolution of the Amazon River’s northern channel and Macapá Bay from 2010 to 2024. It assesses the impacts of sedimentary dynamics on navigability and port management. The research methodology encompassed the analysis of bathymetric data, 38 Sentinel-1 radar scenes (captured between 2016 and 2024) processed via the Google Earth Engine platform, and historical hydrological records. Bathymetric processing was carried out in SURFER using the kriging method, while spatial analyses were performed with geostatistical tools in Python and QGIS. This included the delineation of sandbanks and the calculation of modification areas to identify erosion and deposition patterns. The study area is highly dynamic, influenced by tidal forces, river discharge, and sedimentation. These interacting processes drive the formation and migration of sandbanks and unstable channels, which directly affect bed depth and navigational safety. The findings indicate a reduction in the northern channel’s average depth from 26 m to 22 m, along with a noticeable east-northeastward migration. This shift is evidenced by erosion along the left bank and simultaneous deposition on the right bank. Three-dimensional analysis revealed that while the bed morphology was relatively homogeneous in 2011, by 2024 it had become more compartmentalized, reflecting a rate of change of 0.307 m per year. The study also highlights significant variations in the spatial extent of emerged areas within Macapá Bay. During El Niño years (2016, 2018, 2023), average accretion reached 8,326.93 km², whereas La Niña years (2017, 2020, 2021, 2022) experienced average erosion of -13,941.27 km². Linear regression analysis produced an adjusted R² value of 0.163, indicating that hydrological variability and human activity influence the region’s sedimentary dynamics. The observed geomorphological changes directly affect waterway management and the Santana port complex, underscoring the need for effective strategies to ensure ongoing navigability. Remote sensing has proven invaluable for monitoring these dynamic transformations, offering strategic insights to enhance port infrastructure planning and ensure the long-term sustainability of navigation in the region. This research reinforces the necessity of continuous monitoring and integrated hydrodynamic planning to maintain navigational safety and logistical efficiency. The combined use of geoprocessing and bathymetric techniques enables more accurate planning and the implementation of measures to mitigate sedimentation impacts, thereby preserving the viability of inland waterway transport. Ultimately, the results provide essential support for managing navigation in the Amazon River’s northern channel, promoting enhanced efficiency and safety.

The main morphologic features of northeastemn Para State are strongiy related to middle Cenozoic extensional tectonics which is responsible by the Gondwana break up resulting in the formation of the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean and of the passive margin. The area is included in the Bragança-Viseu Basin, which evolved from the extensional tectonics incidence on the northeastem of the Para State since the Upper Jurassic. During the Miocene this area underwent transtensional tectonics that generated NW-SE normal faults and E-W and NE-SW dextral strike-slip faults. This tectonic event formed large subsided areas and corridors that facilitated transgression towards the continent since 150 km from the present coastline. This transgression originated the carbonatic sequence included in the Pirabas Formation, deposited in areas with drainage systems typical of subsided regions. Some areas remained emerged during the transgression. In the Bragança-Viseu Basin the sediments of Pirabas Formation are scarce, which suggest presence of a structural high blocking the transgression of the “Pirabas Sea”. The occurrence of limestone towards the south of Bragança suggest a cost line characterized by bay heads and promontories facing northwest. On the basis of geophysics interpretation, it was demonstrated in the Bragantina region the absence limestone towards the main depocenter of the Bragança-Viseu Basin. Therefore in this area, there are only occurrence of Precambrian rocks overlaid by Quaternary sediments (debris flows) included in the Post-Barreiras sequence.. The landscape has not change since Miocene - Pliocene, as can be demonstrated by the colinas relief. The geologic data suggest that the landscape evolution is controlled by structures related to the transtensional event.

Mangroves are intertidal forests, susceptible to changes in tidal flooding frequency. Then, its dynamics along the topographic gradients of a coastal plain may be used as an indicator of sea-level changes. This work aims to identify the mangrove dynamics during the Holocene and Anthropocene and infer relative sea-level (RSL) changes based on satellite/drone images and pollen, isotopes (δ13C, δ15N), elemental (C\N), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and sedimentary data, as well as C-14 dating along three cores sampled along a mangrove and a transition mangrove/herbaceous zone following a topographical gradient of a coastal plain in the southeastern Brazilian coast. These multi-proxy data indicated a change from a flat occupied by herbs, palms, tree/shrubs to a lagoon surrounded by mangroves with an increase of sedimentary organic matter sourced from estuarine waters between ~6300 and ~4650 cal yr BP. The RSL rise caused a landward mangrove migration during the early-middle Holocene, widely recorded along the Brazilian coast. The RSL fall converted that lagoon with mangroves into a flat occupied by herbs, palms, and trees/shrubs during the middle-late Holocene. The last thousand years were characterized by a significant decrease in the mangrove pollen occurrence on highest tidal flats occupied by modern mangroves between 390 cal yr BP (1560 AD) and 77 cal yr BP (1873 AD), probably caused by a RSL fall associated with the Little Ice Age (LIA). The core G-4, sampled from the lowest tidal flats and mainly occupied by Rhizophora, revealed an increased trend in Rhizophora pollen percentage since 77 cal yr BP (1873 AD). However, cores sampled from the highest mangrove tidal flats, in the ecotone mangrove/ herbaceous vegetation, indicated an increase of pollen percentages of Rhizophora, Avicennia, and Laguncularia, suggesting a mangrove migration into the highest tidal flats previously occupied by herbs, palms, and trees/shrubs since 1958 (core G-3) and 1955 AD (core RBN-2). These trends must be related to the increase in estuarine influence by a RSL rise since the end of the Little Ice Age and intensified during the last decades.

In the Amazon, to monitor and predict land use dynamics, do not occur simply. The occupation in this region, starting from the opening of the BR-010 hayway and based on deforestation and insertion of pastures for cattle rearing, did not provide this productivity gradient as in other parts of the country. A great example is Paragominas/Pará held at the time the logging as the main economic activity, the city experienced a paradigm shift in 2008, the result of a joint action between civil society, private capital and public institutions, managed to recycle and restructure its economy more sustainable activities. Despite progress, much can still be done for better productivity and proper use of natural resources in the territory. Thus, it is understood that the territory is the space where decisions and where politics materializes are taken, with direct influence on the management of natural resources. Therefore, it’s important to identify the elements of the landscape, including the geomorphology, which stands for determining other elements, such as vegetation, soil, fauna, etc.). Thus, considering the theoretical basis and the GIS as a support, it was mounted one geographic database with primary information, secondary and adapted secondary data. This base was inserted into a cell grid system for analysis. From this grid it was possible to distinguish twelve geofacies to Paragominas. From them, it assesses that in the municipality of Paragominas, in most cases, have forest areas with 10,788.74 square kilometers (55.78%) and when it comes to land use, pastures totaling 2789.11 square kilometers (14.47%). Regarding the rate stability, forests stand out with the highest percentage, about 70%, land uses the present intermediate values (50%) and the Low and High “Capoeiras Baixa e Alta” have the lowest levels of stability (15%). As the dynamics of the evolution of land use in geofacies, livestock is the activity that most deforested the forest in Paragominas, with deforestation rates ranging from 5% to 15% of each geofacie. Agriculture in class, the dynamic occurs in the conversion of grasslands for planting beans, with values strongly concentrated in the areas of Plateaus, with conversion rates ranging from 8% to 25%. As for forest regeneration processes, geofacies Depression, Plains and Valleys have higher rates of these geofacies between 5% and 20%. In contrast, classes more forest regeneration showed no patterns among geofacies. In an overview, the study showed that the insertion occurred dynamics of mechanized agriculture next to highways and livestock is still deforesting vector in the municipality. Already the Forest Plantation this consolidation process in the region and is not very representative area. With the database was possible to define the limits of geofacies and from them verify the dynamics of using existing land in Paragominas, reflecting the same land use dynamics (agricultural transition, deforestation, forest degradation, among others) that are occurring in the Amazon.

Morfodinâmica costeira e o uso da orla oceânica de Salinópolis (Nordeste do Pará)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-12-15) RANIERI, Leilanhe Almeida; EL-ROBRINI, Maâmar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5707365981163429
The morphodynamic aspects related to erosion or accretion of the coastline are some of the topics analyzed in the management of coastal zones being discussed around the world in order to monitor and protect these zones. This thesis aims to analyze the behavior of the coastal morphodynamics of the Salinópolis, relating to the use of ocean margin. The study area was compartmentalized into three sectors: Western (Corvina and Maçarico beaches), Center (Farol Velho beach) and Eastern (Atalaia beach). The methodology consisted of: (a) acquisition and processing of multi-temporal images (1988-2001-2013) of the Landsat 5 TM, 7 ETM and 8 OLI; (b) application of interviews/questionnaires with bathers, (c) acquisition of field data during the rainy season (April 26th, 27th and 28th, 2013) and less rainy (045.5) prevailed at these beaches, but with the occurrence of the the longshore bar and trough state (4.7 <Ω <5.5) in the western sector. The macrotidals in the study area showed maximum height of 5.3 m (Center Sector during the less rainy season) and a minimum of 4 m in the same sector during the rainy season. The longshore currents were more intense in the eastern sector (> 0.45 m / s) during the two seasons of the year. The wave heights were also higher in the eastern sector (maximum of 1.05 m during the flood tide in the less rainy season) and wave periods were shorter (<4.5 s) in the western sector. The mean grain size obtained from sediments collected on the beaches had more frequent scale between 2.6 to 2.8 phi, indicating the predominance of fine sand. The predominant degree of sorting of sediment was 0,2 to 0,5 phi (very well sorted and well sorted), and asymmetry was positive (0.10 to 0.30) and nearly symmetrical (-0.10 to 0.10). The degree of kurtosis ranged from very platykurtic (<0.67) to very leptokurtic (1.50 to 3.00). Sediment accretion events were observed of the rainy season to less rainy season. From 07/22/1988 to 08/28/2013 (25 years) also predominated accretion, where the average linear advancement of the coastline was 190.26 m. The average linear retreat obtained for the entire study area was -42.25 m. The eroding areas are point: currencies from the beaches of Corvina and Maçarico, and Farol Velho and Atalaia. Portable traps indicated a greater quantity of sediment transported longitudinally in the less rainy season (minimum 280 g/m3: flood, west sector; maximum 1098 g/m3: ebb, east sector). In the traps applied in the swash zone, the balance of sediment entering and leaving the beaches was lower in the center sector (minimum 80 g/m3: ebb, maximum 690 g/m3: flood; less rainy season). The coastal sediment movement is derived mainly from effect of the tides, which are oriented toward the direction of the ebb and flow of the estuary crossing the coast. The data indicate the longshore transport of sediment from the Atalaia island and Sampaio River to the west sector and the beaches margins.

Morfologia e mudanças costeiras da margem leste da Ilha de Marajó - (PA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2003-02-27) FRANÇA, Carmena Ferreira de; SOUZA FILHO, Pedro Walfir Martins e; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3282736820907252; EL-ROBRINI, Maâmar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5707365981163429
The eastside of the Marajó Island (Pará State) shows a diversity of morphological features produced by sea level changes, neotectonic and coast dynamics, during Late Cenozoic. The sea level changes, from Miocene to Holocene, controled the deposition of Barreiras Formation and Pós-Barreiras Sediments that form the coastal upland. The framework neotectonic structures controll the NE-SW strip-slipe fault systems and NW-SE normal faults, influencing the distribution of relief units and the fluvial and shoreline morphology. The coastal morphology shows two main units: coastal upland and coastal plain. Coastal upland represents a flated relief with low ondulations and elevations between 5 and 15 meters. The contact with the coastal plain is abrupt, forming “dead” and active cliffs. The coastal plain has a flat relief with low gradients, with portions below 5 meters in hight, which favors sea inundations and the sedimentary dynamic. Long term coastal changes, during the last 5.000 years, resulted in shoreline accretion in response to regressive or stable sea level conditions, with the development of tide flats and mangroves, with migration of barrier-beaches and dunes over mangrove deposits. The accretional and regressive successions of the Soure coastal plain is agreeable to the regressional succession (S2) and transgressive succession (S3) as proposed to coastal plains of Bragança, Salinópolis, Marapanim and São João de Pirabas. The medium term coastal dynamic (1986/2001) is represented by morphological changes in response to interactive action of wave, current, tide and wind process, which has produced changes in the shoreline position. Soure and Salvaterra coast has been submited, in the last 15 years, to erosional processes characterized by shoreline retreat. The total of erosioned lands reached from 0.89 km2 (1986/1995), to 0.38 km2 (1995/1999) and 0.75 km2 (1999/2001). While the accretional areas represent a total of 0.21 km2 (1986/1995), 0.32 km2 (1995/1999) and 0.08 km2 (1999/2001). The short term coastal changes involve the morphological and textural variability from beach topographic profiles in the rain and dry periods seazon in 2001. The seasonal changes are reflected in answer from the beach profiles in respose to variations of tides, ranges of currents, wave energy, availability of sediments and coastal morphology. In Soure, the erosional phase (february to april rainy period with highest tidal range) when it is possible to observe the shoreline retreat (21 m), backshore reduction (13 m), parallel dislocation of foreshore, sedimentary loses, granulometric coarsing (2.81 to 2.94 ϕ, thin sand)) and better selection (0.24 to 0.33, very well selected). The accretionary phase (july to nevember, dry period with stronger winds) showed: hight tide line extension (82 m), backshore enlargement (48 m), sedimentary gain (+339.25 m3), granulometric finning (2.86 a 3.10 ϕ, thin to very thin sand) and worse selection (0.28 to 0.40, very well to well selected). In Salvaterra, the accretional phase (february to april) showed high tide line extension (29 m), backshore enlargement (13 m) and raise of beach volume. In profile 1, there was a granulometric coarsing (0.84 ϕ, thick sand) and worse selection (0.51, moderatelly selected). In profile 2, the grain became thinner (1.49 f medium sand) and better selection (0.44 well selected). The erosional phase (july to november) showed high tide line retreat (25 m), diminution backshore (8 m), sedimentary loses (-22.69 m3), exchange of material between the higher amd lower part of the profiles, the grain became thinner (1.39 ϕ medium sand) and worse selection (0.52 moderatelly selected). The vulnerability of the coast zone to natural risks occur in response to erosive processes in the last 15 years. The environmental zonement resulted in an integration of morphological dates with analysis of coastal changes geoindicators and human interference levels. Different sectors of the coastal zone were classified in : permanent preservation areas (mangroves, beaches and dunes), adequated to occupation areas (coastal upland), areas with risk to occupation (cliff sides) and environmental damage areas (deforested mangroves, beach-dune ridges occupied). The recomendations of preservation, use and future occupation from the coast should subsidize the planning and coastal management. The use of remote sensing and of Geographic Information System, in the several stages of this thesis development, represented important tools to data aquisitions, spatial analysis and synthesis, understanding of coastal relief distribution and caracteristics, observation and quantification of the changes, thematic mapping. Thus this information presents a large use in coastal studies.

Morfotectônica e evolução paleogeográfica da região da Calha do rio Amazonas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1997-09-15) BEMERGUY, Ruth Léa; COSTA, João Batista Sena; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0141806217745286
This work constitutes an example of intraplate application of the modern concept of Structural Geomorphology, which characterizes landforms and drainage patterns within the framework of the neotectonics of the Amazon region. The neotectonics conception adopted here comprises the various structural systems, the sedimentary 'sequences, the land systems and the pattern and anomalies of drainage which were developed during the Upper Terciary and Quatemary. Controversy is particularly intensive over the channel of the Amazon river, between the cities of Manaus and Belém, where plains are found in uplifted areas and also a large diversity of drainage patterns and anomalies. The main goal of the work is to establish a correlation between the complex geomorphological patterns and the structures derived from the transcurrent movements of the Miocene-Pliocene and Upper Pleistocene-Holocene. This implies in a revision of the concepts based on morphoclimatic conditions or domain of vertical movements. The scale of the geomorphological problems dictated the methodology, on a regional basis, which led to the characterization of six morphotectonic compartments as follows: Manaus-Nhamundá, Tupinambarana, Baixo Tapajós, Comandai, Gurupá e Marajoara. 1. The Manaus-Nhamundá compartment shows system landforms with hills where remnants of an erosion surface are present; it is found in the sediments of the Alter do Chão Formation and is controlled by compressive structures of the Upper Terciary. The trellis-type drainage pattern dips southeastward and the more important rivers follow NW-SE normal faults of Quatemary age. 2. The Tupinambarana compartment has a NE-SW rectangular shape. It comprises low relief gradients associated to a strong structural control of the drainage seen on the linear channels of rivers, linear borders of lakes and anomalies of the arch- and elbow of capture types which are derived from the NE-SW lineaments connected to less developed E-W lineaments. The NE-SW lineaments are interpreted as dextral strike-slip faults while the E-W lineaments represent normal faults, both as Quatemary age. 3. The Baixo-Tapajós compartment is characterized by relief of various types - cuesta, dome, volcanic and uplifted blocks which are morphostructures in advanced stages of erosion. Relief and drainage show control by two neotectonic systems: NE-SW and ENE-WSW folds of Upper Terciary age which gave rise to a strong relief gradient shown in landform systems with a widespread regional distribution including cuestas and the Monte Alegre dome. The Quaternary structures are defined by triple junctions of normal and strike-slip faults. 4. The Comandai compartment is observed on the northern margin of the Amazon river with cuestas systems, a morphology defined by the channels of the Jaraú river and its tributaries which cut those structures giving a trellis-type pattern.. The other important feature of this compartment is the residual hills system with flat tops at about 300 m and intrenched streams which channels are modelled by structures giving anomalies of the arch- and elbow of capture types. The landform hills forro a planation surface at 100 m with rectilinear slopes giving a dendritic-rectangular pattern of drainage. Structural control of the relief and drainage as well as the anomalies in the channel of the Amazon river are found to be related to the transcurrent branch of the Baixo-Tapajós triple junction. The other interpretation of those structures relates to the origin of the hills to remnants of the Gurupá Arch therefore associated to normal faults of Mesozoic age. 5. The Gurupá compartment shows, as an important feature in the Amazon plain, the archipelago in the mouth of the Amazon river with an anastomotic pattern. Islands here show NE-SW orientation and are rectangular in shape. In the continent, relief is the flat interfluvial surface type in the sandstones of the Alter do Chão Formation and in the sediments of the Barreiras Group. Drainage shows a subdendritic pattern. Tectonic activity is registered since the Mesozoic with NE-SW dextral strike-slip faults along which pull-apart basins were formed. These tectonics were active until the Upper Terciary. The landscape is modelled by dextral strike-slip systems with orientation NE-SW and ENE-WSW normal faults. 6. The Marajoara compartment comprises the Marajó Island and the northeastern region of the State of Pará with estuarine morphology and was subjected to subsidence tectonics since the Mesozoic. NW-SE normal faults were developed during the Upper Terciary and these and dextral strike-slip faults controlled the deposition of the Pirabas-Barreiras sequences. These movements were active still in the Quatemary and explain the coastal landforms. The development of these compartments is not directly related to the evolution of the northern and westem borders of the South-American plate.
