Soil, Paleosols and Landscape Dynamics

This group works in 3 main areas, with a focus on pedogenesis and weathering processes: 1. Pedogenesis of current soil and the relationship of the same with forms of relief and archaeological sites; 2. Quaternary and pre-quaternary paleosols; 3. Paleosurfaces and the association of the same with soils and alteration profiles, striving to understand the evolution of the long-term geomorphological landscape. The group is currently involved in work in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil (the states of Piaui, Bahia, Tocantins, Goias, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Parana).
