The middle Albian-lower Turonian Western Continental Margin of the Iberia stands out in the post-rift record of the Western Iberian Continental Margin by its marine character and abundance in fossils. In this study the stratigraphy and palynology of the basal sequences recorded in Nazaré, one of its main outcrops, are focused with emphasis on the transition between the lower and middle Cenomanian. For this purp...
O estudo de uma jazida fossilifera descoberta recentemente no Devónico do Anticlinal de Valongo(Portugal) forneceu novos elementos paleofaunisticos, biostratigrilficos e paleoambientais sobre este contexto estratigráfico. Efetuou-se uma extensa amostragem paleontológica, acompanhada por estudos de estratigrafia em que se focaram aspetos detaxonomia,tafonomia,biostratigrafia e paleoecologia de invertebrados mari...
The study of the Bom Santo Cave (central Portugal), a Neolithic cemetery, indicates a complex social, palaeoeconomic, and population scenario. With isotope, aDNA, and provenance, analyses of raw materials coupled with stylistic variability of material culture items and palaeogeographical data, light is shed on the territory and social organization of a population dated to 3800-3400 cal BC, i.e. the Middle Neoli...
Presently we are experiencing the globalization of development and education. In the past years more and more higher education institutions (HEis) from developed countries have been collaborating with institutions from developing states, by ministering specific training programs for diverse professionals, such as (future) teachers.
