Abstract The Wilson Cycle theory that oceans close and reopen along the former suture is a
fundamental concept in plate tectonics. It was named after J. Tuzo Wilson who recognised …

The seaboard of Brazil is a highly favorable setting for studying episodes of worldwide sea-
level rise because of its passive nature. Previous studies of the equatorial coast of Brazil …

Epigenetic karstic systems in carbonate rocks commonly result from progressive dissolution
by acidic meteoric waters over thousands to millions of years. The generation of secondary …

Rifting and related normal stress regime in the equatorial continental margin of Brazil
ceased during the Late Cretaceous, when the stress regimes in eastern South America and …

This paper analyzes different types of karst landforms and their relationships with fracture
systems, sedimentary bedding, and fluvial processes. We mapped karst features in the …

We present a crustal thickness map of Brazil and adjacent areas based on a compilation of
data published in the literature as well as new measurements. We used crustal thicknesses …

No Nordeste setentrional brasileiro, as formas de relevo têm sido classicamente descritas
como resultantes de sucessivos ciclos de aplainamento. Nessa perspectiva, são …

Fractures and karstic dissolution features have been recognized to significantly affect
subsurface fluid flow on a range of scales in carbonate rocks. However, due to the …

The eastern continental margin of South America comprises a series of rift basins developed
during the breakup of Pangea in the Jurassic–Cretaceous. We integrated high resolution …

We investigate the evolution of uplifted areas in NE Brazil, which have been considered as
residual landforms. The study focuses on the 130km-long, 41km-wide Pereiro Massif (PM) …
