Coastal regions are dynamic environments formed from the joint action of wind, terrestrial, oceanic & atmospheric processes. Remote sensing, coupled with digital image processing & geographic information systems, has been used in studies related to the coastal environments. The use of these geotechnologies finds it difficult to individualize geomorphological compartments of the coast due to the compositional ho...
The various interventions in the Uruburetama Massif have generated a situation of degradation that compromises local economic, social and environmental sustainability. As a way of warning about the worsening of environmental problems, this research aims to make a diagnosis of environmental degradation in the humid hillside of the Uruburetama Massif / CE and its surroundings, in order to assess the impacts gener...
The study area is located geologically in Ceará Central Domain (located in the Borborema Province) northwest of the city of Banabuiú, which is situated in the state of Ceará. The study was conducted in an area of 12 Km2 on a scale of 1: 15,000, comprising an extraction area ornamental stone blocks located in the "Serra do Feijão". The region is represented by rocks of Paleoproterozoic lithologically ages (gneis...
This study was developed in the coastal plain of Icapuí, which is located in the eastern coast of the state of Ceará, located at brazilian northeast, and aimed to understand the sedimentary evolution related with the local coastal dynamics. The formation of continental beach ridges system seems to be influenced, in a regional perspective, by quaternary reactivations of a pair of conjugated faults composed by Ca...
