Björn Kjerfve,Björn Kjerfve,Cesar H. A. Ribeiro,Gilberto Tavares de Macedo Dias,Alessandro Filippo,Valéria da Silva Quaresma +5 more
TL;DR: Baia de Guanabara is a 384 km2 eutrophic coastal bay in Brazil, impacted by the polluted discharge from the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area as mentioned in this paper, which has a central channel with a depth of 30 m and a sandy bottom near the entrance, reflecting wave and tidal forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that the Atlantic Forest of eastern South America probably expanded, rather than contracted, during the last glacial period, and the role of the emerged Brazilian continental shelf played a major, yet neglected, role on the evolution of this biodiversity hotspot During glacial periods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics and attached microorganisms in sediments of the Vitória bay estuarine system in SE Brazil
José Antônio Baptista Neto,Christine Gaylarde,Iwona Beech,Alex Cardoso Bastos,Valéria da Silva Quaresma,Diego Gomes de Carvalho +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the concentration of microplastic in the benthic sediment of Vitoria Bay estuarine system (SVB), SE Brazil, using scanning electron micrographs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shelf morphology as an indicator of sedimentary regimes: A synthesis from a mixed siliciclastic–carbonate shelf on the eastern Brazilian margin
Alex Cardoso Bastos,Valéria da Silva Quaresma,Mariana B. Marangoni,Danielle Peron D'Agostini,Silvia Nossa Bourguignon,Paulo Henrique Cetto,Alex Evaristo da Silva,Gilberto M. Amado Filho,Rodrigo L. Moura,Michael Collins,Michael Collins +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a compilation of existing published and unpublished data was carried out in order to produce morphological and faciological maps and compare the mapped features with high-resolution seismic and sonographic data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal variability in the suspended sediment load and streamflow of the Doce River
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the temporal variability in the suspended sediment load and streamflow of the Doce River to the Atlantic Ocean, between 1990 and 2013, at the daily, seasonal, and interannual scales.
