We review the usefulness, limitations, significance, and coastal management implications of
radionuclide measurements in Brazilian coastal environments. We focus on the use of …

This review surveys the literature on reference materials for geological and environmental
research for the two year period 2006–2007. In this time ca. 1200 publications appeared …

High-resolution grain size analyses of three AMS 14C-dated cores from the Southeastern
Brazilian shelf provide a detailed record of mid-to late-Holocene environmental changes in …

Cryoconite is rich in natural and artificial radioactivity, but a discussion about its ability to
accumulate radionuclides is lacking. A characterization of cryoconite from two Alpine …

Neodymium and lead isotope values in sediment samples were used to interpret sediment
transport and source rocks on the Southeastern South American upper margin. The …

This study aims to explore the hydrodynamic factors that influence the depositional
processes on the upper continental margin of southeastern South America. Mineralogy and …

The sources and depositional history of OCPs (organochlorine pesticides), PCBs
(polychlorinated biphenyls) and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) over the last 100 …

In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of the shelf mud depocenters off South Brazil,
between latitudes 27° 30′ S and 24° 30′ S. A combination of geochronological, textural …

In this study, published and unpublished data from the Santos Estuarine Complex and Bay
and the adjacent continental shelf (São Paulo State, Brazil) were gathered in order to …

The southern Brazilian shelf (extending from 34° S to 22° S) is discussed with special
emphasis on its Holocene sedimentary evolution. The onset of the Rio de la Plata plume …
