The relief results from the action of antagonistic forces synthesized by tectonic and structural activities, and by morphoclimatic mechanisms over geological time, may occur successively or simultaneously. Geomorphological ...

This study aimed to discuss the coastal geomorphological dynamics and their implications for the adequate management. Thus, from the geomorphological mapping, the morphodynamic processes that characterize the relief ...

There are several procedures of spatialization and individualization of physical environmental units, such as the techniques of remote sensing and geoprocessing. The physiographic compartmentation can be performed by ...

The western state of Pará region has attracted increasing investments due to its strategic position within a model of exportation in consolidation in Brazil, of commodity outflow via the Amazon waterway. This interest is ...

The Cuiaba River watershed, located in the state of Mato Grosso, drains an area of approximately 36,000 km(2). When it enters the Pantanal area in Mato Grosso, the Cuiaba river starts depositing the sediments transported ...

The geo-environmental zoning represents an important strategy in the territorial management. However, it requires a logical and structured procedure. Therefore, an approach using physiographic compartmentalization is ...

The influence of structural factors on relief formation has been investigated since long time on geomorphology. On the other hand, the discussion involving different uplift and generalized planation events on the Brazilian ...
