In recent years, the region surrounding Sepetiba Bay (SB; SE Brazil) has become a hub of
intense urban expansion and economic exploitation in response to ore transport and …

A multiproxy approach involving grain size, geophysical (resistivity, magnetic susceptibility,
and P-wave velocity), mineralogical (XRD), and geochemical (elemental, stable isotopes) …

Abstract The Sepetiba Bay (SB, SE Brazil) is a highly anthropized and industrialized area
that has experienced severe environmental degradation in recent decades. This study …

Barrier islands are low-lying elongated, narrow sandy deposits, usually parallel to the
coastline, separated from the continent by a lagoon. Due to their low elevation above sea …

Purpose Some marine organisms can be used as Biological Quality Elements to estimate
the degree of environmental impact and to monitor the health of benthic habitats. Organisms …

The present work analyzes mean sea level (MSL) measurements recorded by a tide gauge
installed at Ilha Fiscal (Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, SE Brazil). For this purpose, a time …

Mangrove swamps are found in intertidal zones along tropical and subtropical regions
around the world. The spatial distribution of these coastal swamps is initially controlled by …

Due to the complex nature of coastal dynamics, several models were developed to estimate
longshore sediment transport (LST) rates. The Coastal Engineering Research Center …

O comportamento da linha de costa é um indicativo das tendências à que o sistema costeiro
está submetido, pois é a interface de contato da transição continente-oceano. Neste …

This work aims to identify the influence of climate change on sedimentary processes
associated with the usual regression process during the rise of sea level in the early/middle …
