The importance of coastal zones implies the need for continuous studies related to the monitoring of their processes. In this context, the shoreline represents one of the most dynamic features, and its variability is an indicator of erosion or coastal deposition. In order to evaluate the changing trends of the coast of the Icapuí city, located in the far east of the state of Ceará, this work involved the use of...
Coastal erosion occurs in several parts of the world. Sometimes, it destroys structures close to the shoreline causing economic damage. In the state of Ceará, Brazil, there are stretches with retrogradation. A classic example is from the area near the Mucuripe harbor (Fortaleza). From this context, the objective of this paper was to analyze the evolution of the State of Ceará shoreline between 1984 and 2018. To...
The geological structures arrangement in plateau areas is an important element in understanding the dynamics that occur on the surface of their slopes and which is responsible for relief sculpting. In this context, gravitational movements stand out, which can generate economic, environmental and human losses in high energy events and / or with large extension. This research analyzed the influence of structural ...
