Beschreibung
Geodiversity and Territory in Brazil presents a comprehensive, state‑by‑state analysis of Brazil’s abiotic foundations, treating geology, paleontology, geomorphology, soils, waters, and climate as essential components of of the country’s long natural history. By offering a territorially situated and historically informed analysis of geodiversity, this volume demonstrates that geodiversity is key to understanding the environmental, heritage, and socioeconomic dynamics of Brazil.
This two-part compendium addresses every Brazilian state and the federal district. Volume I focuses on the north and northeast regions. Chapters systematize and present new data from around the country, demonstrating an integrated and territorially situated approach that that enables the reconstruction of long-term evolutionary processes and the understanding of the physical basis upon which contemporary socio-environmental dynamics unfold. Advancing an integrated treatment of geodiversity, contributions address the effects of climate as well as identify geoheritage sites.
By systematizing, analyzing, and disseminating knowledge about the abiotic elements that constitute state territories, this book provides an indispensable tool for understanding Brazil as a set of living, historical, and continuously transforming landscapes.
