ABSTRACT: The Cunene Province (Southern Angola) is facing recurrent and pluriannual droughts. Surface water supply could be reinforced using the groundwater resources of the multilayered aquifer systems (MAS) hosted in the siliciclastic sediments of the Kalahari Group. The MAS were first identified in the early 2000s in Northern Namibia and recently in the Cunene Province, by studies of the PLANAGEO project bas...
SUMMARY: Within the scope of the PLANAGEO project, the assessment of the KOS and KOH transboundary multilayered aquifer systems, located in the province of Cunene, southern Angola, without significant hydrogeological research in the last 50 years, was conducted. The drilling location of 5 deep boreholes was selected after the processing and interpretation of legacy and recently acquired geophysical data within ...
ABSTRACT: The Kunene Anorthosite Complex (KAC), located in SW Angola, is one of the largest anorthosite structures in the world. Dating from the Mesoproterozoic, its installation process is still not clear. Several mafic and ultramafic outcrops can be found surrounding the KAC. Once considered related with its emplacement, the study of these bodies may help us understand the history of this unique geological fe...
SUMMARY: Under the scope of project PLANAGEO, a geophysical survey using the time domain electromagnetic (TDEM) method was planned and conducted. This survey aimed to contribute to the hydrogeological conceptual model of the KOS and KOH aquifer systems, to validate the 1960 data electrical resistivity reprocessing and to define the future location of deep boreholes. The TDEM survey allowed identifying different...

RESUMO: Estruturas fotónicas com tamanhos comparáveis aos comprimentos de onda da luz solar são as soluções preferenciais para melhorar a eficiência de dispositivos fotovoltaicos através de aprisionamento de luz. As micro-estruturas fotónicas aqui desenvolvidas operam no regime de ótica de ondas, pelo que foram construídos modelos eletromagnéticos que permitiram encontrar os parâmetros ótimos para aplicação no ...
In Terras de Bouro, in the northwest of Portugal, goat production is a relevant activity for social, economic and environmental development. Often animals and shepherds are seen along the landscapes of Gerês mountains and grazing plays an essential role in the landscape mosaic. Many of the grazing animals are goats, many of which are kept in organic production systems, as encouraged by local organizations. Goat...
