Assessment of water systems for contaminants from domestic and industrial sewages
Jordão, C. P.; Pereira, M. G.; Bellato, C. R.; Pereira, J. L.; Matos, A. T.The State of Minas Gerais represents one of Brazil's most outstanding mining resources. The contamination of river waterfrom kaolin processing activities may be harmful to people inthe way of slow but chronic poisoning. On the other hand, the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated domestic sewage into aquatic environments can also cause deleterious effects to the health. However, no reliable figures are...

Negligent and intentional fires in Portugal: spatial distribution characterization
Parente, J.; Pereira, M. G.; Amraoui, M.; Tedim, FantinaIn the European context, Portugal is the country with the highest number of wildfires and the second with more burnt area. The vast majority of these events are of human origin, whether caused by accident, negligence or arson, reason why it is particularly important to know the regime of these wildfires for forest and wildfire management activities. The study focuses on the most recent years of 20012014, when w...
Impacts of climate change and land-use scenarios on Margaritifera margaritifera...
Santos, R. M. B.; Sanches Fernandes, L. F.; Varandas, S. G. P.; Pereira, M. G.; Sousa, Ronaldo Gomes; Teixeira, A.; Lima, M. Lopes; Cortes, R. M. V.In this study, we assess the impacts of future climate and land-use in the Beça River (northern Portugal) under different scenarios and how this will translate into the conservation status of the endangered pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera (Linnaeus, 1758). This species is currently present in several stretches of the Beça River that still hold adequate ecological conditions. However, the species is thr...
