Measuring dynamic topography in South America
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
The understanding of modern topography, and basin and landscape evolution, requires clear comprehension of isostatic and dynamic forces (in addition to paleoclimate changes) over different temporal and spatial scales. Here ...
Relative contributions of tectonics and dynamic topography to the Mesozoic-Cenozoic subsidence of southern Patagonia
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-08)
Sedimentary basins result from a complex interaction between mantle, crustal and surficial erosional-driven processes, which act at different time and spatial scales. While shortening and crustal loading drive flexural ...
Use of recent geoid models to estimate mean dynamic topography and geostrophic currents in South Atlantic and Brazil Malvinas confluence
(INST OCEANOGRAFICO, UNIV SAO PAULOSAO PAULO, 2012)
The use of geoid models to estimate the Mean Dynamic Topography was stimulated with the launching of the GRACE satellite system, since its models present unprecedented precision and space-time resolution. In the present ...
Dynamic topography in South America
(Elsevier, 2013-02)
Supracrustal tectonics and mantle flow interact to create Earth's topography. While tectonics is associated with the isostatic components of topography, the deflections caused by mantle dynamics, or dynamic topography, ...
Measuring surface topography with scanning electron microscopy. I. EZEImage: A program to obtain 3D surface data
(Cambridge University Press, 2006-04)
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is widely used in the science of materials and different parameters were developed to characterize the surface roughness. In a previous work, we studied the surface topography with fractal ...
Tectonic and dynamic controls on the topography and subsidence of the Argentine Pampas: The role of the flat slab
(Elsevier Science, 2010-06-28)
We analyze the Pampean foreland (the Pampas) along the modern flat-slab segment of the south-central Andes between 31° and 33° South latitude and to the east of the Argentine "flat-slab" province, using flexural and gravity ...
Use of recent geoid models to estimate mean dynamic topography and geostrophic currents in South Atlantic and Brazil Malvinas confluence
(Universidade de São Paulo, Instituto Oceanográfico, 2012)
The use of geoid models to estimate the Mean Dynamic Topography was stimulated with the launching of the GRACE satellite system, since its models present unprecedented precision and space-time resolution. In the present ...
Dynamic Detection of Thicknesses in Polymer Deformation Based on the Optical Coherence Interferometry Technique
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2015-07)
We describe the implementation of the optical coherence interferometry (OCT) technique in the dynamic measurement of the deformation of polymers. The experimental set-up of the interferometer system and the signal processing ...
Effects of roads, topography, and land use on forest cover dynamics in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)
Roads and topography can determine patterns of land use and distribution of forest cover, particularly in tropical regions. We evaluated how road density, land use, and topography affected forest fragmentation, deforestation ...
