Gravity models are powerful tools for mapping tectonic structures, especially in the deep
ocean basins where the topography remains unmapped by ships or is buried by thick …

The geodiversity of Brazil is associated with the geological evolution of the South American
Platform, the part of the South American Plate that behaved as a stable portion during the …

Abstract The Pelotas Basin is the classical example of a volcanic passive margin displaying

Large oil accumulation discoveries in the last decade in the pre-salt rock succession off the
Brazilian coast aroused renewed interest in carbonate reservoirs, prompting several studies …

Abstract The Early Cretaceous South Atlantic Magmatic Province (SAMP), which includes
the Paraná-Etendeka LIP, produced about 8 million km 3 of tholeiitic basalt and diabase …

Cretaceous aged salt and salt-free basins along the continental margins of Brazil and
Angola/Namibia exhibit a rather heterogeneous geometry and basin fill which implies a …

This study presents new stable carbon and oxygen isotope data from Lower Cretaceous
lacustrine carbonate rock samples recovered from a well drilled in the Santos Basin …

The discovery and production, by Petrobras, of over 50 billion barrels in place of pre-salt oil
in Brazil's offshore South Atlantic Santos and Campos basins has drawn worldwide attention …
