Rios
Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
I am interested in all applications of precise geochronology, high-temperature geochemistry, and igneous petrology to the understanding of geological processes related to ancient terrains, particularly those involving the origin of Achaean cratons. Samples range from terrestrial rocks to meteorites. It is also related with applied science (eg. dimension stones), as well as community work, to talk about science for people through the trinomy Geodiversity, Geoconservation and Geotourism.
Teaching experience:
Mineralogy and Petrology, Geochemistry, Geochronology, Planetary Geology, Basics of Geology, Dimension Stones
I taught small to large introductory and senior classes to undergraduate and graduate students
(BSc, MSc, PhD students)
Research interest:
Geochronology, Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Igneous Petrology
Meteorites, Kimberlites, Anorthosites, Granites, Alkaline Rocks
Early Earth, Archaean, Paleoproterozoic, Precambrian
Dimension Stones, Geoturism, Geoheritage, Geosciences Education
Further interests and experiences:
Geochronology and Geochemistry analyses (LA-ICP-MS, TIMS, Shrimp, Kober methodology, SEM, FRX, DRX)
Examination of building stones of historical buildings and monuments
Examination of gravestones of ancient and modern cemeteries.
Core description and documentation.
Creation of the meteorites and Solar System exhibitions of the Bahia´s Geological Museum, Organizing and leading of rocks, mineral, meteorite and fossil collecting field trips in Bahia.
