The High Grade Metamorphic Complex (HGMC) of Variscan basement of north Sardinia is characterized by the widespread of migmatites. This study is focused on two localities of NE Sardinia (Porto Ottiolu and Punta Sirenella) where ortho- and para-derivates migmatites outcrop. A geological and structural survey was carried out, leading to the realization of a geological schematic map of Punta Sirenella area. Several samples of different rocks were collected for petrographic, micro-structural minero-chemical and geochemical analyses. In the Porto Ottiolu area three main deformation phases have been identified; D1, characterized by tight folds with sub-horizontal axes, rarely preserved in paragneisses; D2, that produce a pervasive foliation oriented N100° 45°SW marked by biotite and sillimanite blastesis and locally transposed by shear zone oriented N170°; D3, late deformation phase caused symmetric folds with sub-horizontal axes with no axial plane schistosity. Leucosomes form pods and layers along S2 schistosity but also leucosomes along shear zones have been observed. In the Punta Sirenella area, three main deformation phases have been identified; D1, is manifested by the transposition of centimeter-sized leucosomes and is rarely observed in paragneisses were produce open folds with sub-vertical axes; D2, NW-SE oriented on whose XY plane three mineralogical lineation (quartz+plagioclase, fibrolite+quarz and muscovite) lie; D3, a ductile-brittle deformation phase that produce a mylonitc S3 foliation that locally become the most evident schistosity in the field oriented N140° steeply dipping toward NE. In both areas, leucosomes of sedimentary-derived migmatites are generally trondhjemitic pointing out for a H2O fluxed melting reaction, but also granitic leucosomes have been found, produced by muscovite dehydration melting. Leucosomes of migmatitic orthogneiss instead, have granitic compositions. Migmatization started early, during the compressional and crustal thickening (sin-D1, pre-D2) and was still active during exhumation stage. For each studied outcrop of migmatite pseudosections for the average mesosome composition have been calculated; these pseudosections have been used to model the P-T conditions of anatexis on the basis of the melt volume (%) of melt, Si/Al and Na/K molar ratios, modal content of garnet and Si content in metamorphic white mica. Further pseudosections have been calculated for the average composition of leucosomes in order to define the P-T conditions of the end of the crystallization through intersection of solidus curve and isopleths of Si content in white mica and/or XMg ratio in biotite. Thermodynamic modeling on ortho- and sedimentary-derived migmatites of Punta Sirenella yield P-T conditions of 1.1-1.3 GPa - 670-740°C for migmatitic event and 0.75-0.90 GPa - 660-730°C for the end of crystallization. These conditions are fit well with previous studies on adjacent rocks. Modeling of Porto Ottiolu ortho- and sedimentary-derived migmatites yield P-T conditions of 0.85-1.05 GPa - 690-730°C for migmatitic event and 0.35-0.55 GPa - 630-690°C strongly affected by re-equilibration during exhumation, expecially for crystallization conditions. Geochemical analyses of samples belonging to Porto Ottiolu and Punta Sirenella orthogneisses show a strong link with those of other orthogneisses outcropping in NE Sardinia (for instance, Lode-Mamone and Golfo Aranci) that are considered the intrusive counterparts of middle-Ordovician metavolcanics rocks outcropping in the Nappe Zone. Thus, the studied ortogneiss bodies, even lacking radiometric data, can be considered as belonging to the same magmatic cycle.

A Engenharia de Conhecimento (Knowledge Engineering - KE) atual considera o desenvolvimento de Sistemas Baseados em Conhecimento (Knowledge- Based Systems - KBSs) como um processo de modelagem baseado em modelos de conhecimento reusáveis. A noção de Métodos de Solução de Problemas (Problem- Solving Methods - PSMs) desempenha um importante papel neste cenário de pesquisa, pois representa o conhecimento inferencial de KBSs em um formalismo explícito. Não menos importante, PSMs também facilitam a compreensão do processo de raciocínio desenvolvido por humanos. PSMs são descritos em um formalismo abstrato e independente de implementação, facilitando a análise do conhecimento inferencial que muitas vezes é obscurecido em grandes bases de conhecimento. Desta forma, este trabalho discute a noção de PSMs, avaliando os problemas de pesquisa envolvidos no processo de desenvolvimento e especificação de um método, como também analisando as possibilidades de aplicação de PSMs. O trabalho apresenta a descrição e análise de um estudo de caso sobre o processo de desenvolvimento, especificação e aplicação de um PSM Interpretação de Rochas. As tarefas de interpretação de rochas são desenvolvidas por petrógrafos especialistas e correspondem a um importante passo na caracterização de rochasreservatório de petróleo e definição de técnicas de exploração, permitindo que companhias de petróleo reduzam custos de exploração normalmente muito elevados. Para suportar o desenvolvimento de KBSs neste domínio de aplicação, foram desenvolvidos dois PSMs novos: o PSM Interpretação de Rochas e o PSM Interpretação de Ambientes Diagenéticos. Tais métodos foram especificados a partir de uma análise da perícia em Petrografia Sedimentar, como também a partir de modelos de conhecimento e dados desenvolvidos durante o projeto PetroGrapher. O PSM Interpretação de Rochas e o PSM Interpretação de Ambientes Diagenéticos são especificados conceitualmente em termos de competência, especificação operacional e requisitos/suposições. Tais definições detalham os componentes centrais de um esquema de raciocínio para interpretação de rochas. Este esquema é empregado como um modelo de compreensão e análise do processo de raciocínio requerido para orientar o desenvolvimento de uma arquitetura de raciocínio para interpretação de rochas. Esta arquitetura é descrita em termos de requisitos de armazenamento e manipulação de dados e conhecimento, permitindo projetar e construir um algoritmo de inferência simbólico para uma aplicação de bancos de dados inteligentes denominada PetroGrapher.

Este trabalho revisa a geologia e apresenta dados inéditos do Depósito de Cobre Cerro dos Martins (DCM), incluindo geocronologia Pb-Pb em zircão, inclusões fluidas, isótopos estáveis (C, O e S), composição isotópica do Sr e geoquímica de elementos maiores e traços das rochas vulcânicas encaixantes. O depósito está hospedado na seqüência vulcano-sedimentar do Grupo Bom Jardim, da Bacia do Camaquã, do Neoproterozóico do Escudo Sul Rio-grandense, e possui reservas calculadas de 1.450.000 t, com teor médio de 0,83% Cu. O depósito consiste de um conjunto de veios sulfetados que preenchem fraturas de direção N40º-60ºW em rochas andesíticas e sedimentares clásticas, com disseminações confinadas em níveis de siltito, arenito, andesito e conglomerado, da Formação Hilário do Grupo Bom Jardim. Os minerais do minério filoneano são a calcosina e bornita com calcopirita, pirita, galena e esfalerita subordinadas. Digenita, covelita, malaquita cuprita e azurita ocorrem como minério secundário em ganga constituída de carbonatos, quartzo, minerais argilosos, barita e rara hematita. A composição química das vulcânicas (elementos maiores e traços, incluindo ETR) indicam uma afinidade alcalina para o vulcanismo relacionado à Formação Hilário na região do Cerro dos Martins. Um corpo de quartzo-diorito, intrusivo nas rochas vulcânicas e sedimentares, mostrou idade de 550 ±5 Ma (Pb-Pb em zircões) indicando um valor mínimo para a geração do minério do DCM. Esta idade confirma a posição estratigráfica desta rocha na Formação Acampamento Velho e também fornece uma idade mínima para a deposição da seqüência vulcano-sedimentar encaixante do DCM. Os sulfetos do DCM mostram δS34 CDT com valores relativamente homogêneos entre - 6.2 e + 0.9‰ (n= 7). O valor de δS34 CDT da calcopirita, levemente positivo (+0.9‰), indica uma origem magmática para o S, mas os valores negativos encontrados nestes sulfetos, poderiam indicar o envolvimento de outras fontes com enxofre reduzido. Entretanto, a presença de hematita nas paragêneses minerais indica que o minério foi formado sob condições oxidantes, modificando a composição isotópica original do enxofre magmático (δS34 CDT ~ 0‰) para valores negativos. As baritas analisadas apresentam valores com δS34 CDT entre +9.25 e +10.65‰ (n=4) indicando deposição em condições oxidantes, originadas pela mistura de um fluido magmático-hidrotermal com água meteórica. A composição isotópica do C das calcitas do DCM varia com δC13 PDB entre - 1,90 a -4,45‰, interpretada como resultante da mistura entre carbono de fonte magmática com mármores do embasamento. Inclusões fluidas em quartzo do minério indicam temperaturas de deposição entre 157 e 273 °C com mediana de 215 °C (n = 45). A composição isotópica do oxigênio da água em equilibrio com a calcita do fluido hidrotermal (T= 215 °C) mostra valores de δ O18 SMOW entre 3 e 14, indicando H2O de origem magmática, com contribuição de água meteórica. A razão Sr87/Sr86 das mesmas calcitas mostram valores entre 0,7068 – 0,7087, de crosta superior. Rochas plutônicas e vulcânicas do escudo com idades próximas de 550 Ma possuem razões iniciais Sr87/Sr86 entre 0,704 – 0,710, compatíveis com aquelas encontradas nas calcitas da mineralização. Os fluidos hidrotermais do magmatismo shoshonítico-alcalino com idade de 595 Ma e Sr87/Sr86 entre 0,7041 a 0,7053, também são candidatos a fonte do Sr dos carbonatos hidrotermais, mas necessitariam de um componente mais radiogênico. Assim, a fonte de C-O e Sr das calcitas do minério pode ter sido originada diretamente de um fluido magmático-hidrotermal ou de uma mistura entre este fluido e mármores do embasamento. Portanto, o depósito Cerro dos Martins é interpretado como de origem magmática-hidrotermal, relacionado ao evento magmático alcalinoshoshonítico, pós-colisional da Orogênese Dom Feliciano, com idade entre 595-550 Ma. Novos modelos exploratórios para depósitos de cobre no Escudo do Rio Grande do Sul devem considerar o magmatismo alcalino na gênese dos depósitos.

The need to build durable structures and resistant to harsh environments enabled the development of high strength concrete, these activities generate a high cement consumption, which implies factor in CO2 emissions. Often the desired strength is not achieved using only the cement composition. This study aims to evaluate the influence of pozzolans with the addition of metakaolin on the physical mechanics of high strength concrete comparing them with the standard formulation. Assays were performed to characterize the aggregates according to NBR 7211, evaluation of cement and coarse aggregate through the trials of petrography (NBR 15577-3/08) and alkali-aggregate reaction (NBR 15577-05/08). Specimens were fabricated according to NBR 5738-1/04 with additions of 0%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% of metakaolin for cement mortars CP V in the formulations. For evaluation of the concrete hardened in fresh state and scattering assays were performed and compressive strength in accordance with the NBR 7223/1992 and NBR 5739-8/94 respectively. The results of the characterization of aggregates showed good characteristics regarding size analysis and petrography, as well as potentially innocuous as the alkali-aggregate reaction. As to the test of resistance to compression, all the formulations with the addition of metakaolin showed higher value at 28 days of disruption compared with the standard formulation. These results present an alternative to reduce CO2 emissions, and improvements in the quality and durability of concrete, because the fine particle size of metakaolin provides an optimal compression of the mass directly influencing the strength and rheology of the dough

The study of Brazilian sedimentary basins concentrates on their rift phase, whereas the Post-rift phase has been considered a tectonic quiescent period. The post-rift sequence of the Potiguar Basin, in the far northeastern Brazil, was once considered little deformed, however several studies have shown how that it was affected by major fault systems. The purpose of this thesis is to characterize the post-rift tectonic. The specific objectives are: to characterize the Neogene and Quaternary sedimentary units that outcrop of the Potiguar Basin; to show how the NW-SEtrending Afonso Bezerra Faults System deformed outcrop rocks in the Basin; to describe soft-sediment deformation in gravels of the Quaternary Alluvial Deposits from Açu River. Facies analyses, grain-size studies, luminescence dating, remote sensing, structural mapping, shallow geophysics (georadar), paleostress and petrography were carried out. The structural mapping and the georadar sections indicated that the Carnaubais and Afonso Bezerra fault systems formed fractures, silicified and non-silicified faults or deformation bands, affecting mainly the Açu, Jandaíra and Barreiras formations. The petrographic data indicate that the strong silicification resulted in a sealant character of the faults. Paleostress analysis indicates that two stress fields affected the Basin: the first presented N-S-trending compression, occurred from the Neocretaceous to the Miocene; the second stress field presents E-W-trending compression, acts from the Miocene to the present. It was verified once the Afonso Bezerra System Faults was reactivated in periods post-Campanian and affects all post-rift lithostratigraphic units of Potiguar Basin, including Quaternary sedimentary covers. The study about soft-sediment deformation structures indicates that they are similar in morphology and size to modern examples of seismically-induced deformation strutures in coarse sediments. TL and OSL ages indicate that sediment deposition and associated soft-sediment deformation occurred at least six times from ~352 Ka to ~9 Ka. Finally these studies demonstrate how recent is tectonics in the Basin Potiguar

This study focuses on the potential of several techniques used to identify depositional geometries and paleogeographical investigation on the SW border of the Potiguar Basin. Three areas were selected for an integrated geological, geophysical and geochemistry study. The main used techniques were facies analysis, remote sensing,ground penetrating radar (GPR) and gamma-ray in outcrops, as well as petrographic microscope observations and the using of scanning eletronic microscopic (SEM), and Carbon and Oxygen Isotopic study in the carbonate tufa. These methodological approaches were very efficient in the facies analysis of 2D geometries. The GPR profiles carried out in Quixeré identified important geological reflectors which allowed to the identification of depositional geometries of tufa. However, GPR profiles were not able to identify geological reflectors in the Apodi and Olho d´Água da Bica outcrops. Gammaray profiles also presented good results, which justify their use in 1D and 2D geometric analysis. Carbon and Oxygen Isotopic analyses were also used to investigate paleoenvironmental setting of tufa deposits. It is important to remark the excellent resultsof GRP using in the identification of deposition al geometries of tufa and their contact relationships with the underlying rocks. Field analysis of faults indicate a vertical sigma-1 orientation which was associated to normal faults

This dissertation deals with sedimentological and structural framework of the siliciclastic rock of the Serra do Martins Formation (FSM) in the Portalegre, Martins and Santana plateau, located to the south of Potiguar Basin, in the southwest and central Rio Grande do Norte state. This formation, regarded as of Oligo-Miocene age based on intrusive relations of the Miocene Macau volcanics, has a still disputable age due to the lack of appropriate bio and/or chronostratigraphic markers. The FSSM deposits crop out along 650 to 750 m high plateau, as a remanescent sedimentary cover directly overlying topographically uplifted pre-cambrian crystalline rocks. During the last decades, these deposits were interpreted according to a Tertiary paleoclimatic evolutionary model, associated to pedogenetic processes. The sedimentological characterization of the FSM was done through a detailed study of its facies, petrography and diagenetic features. The facies study was based on description of field relations, textures and structures, the piling up of the strata and their lateral variations. The FSM was deposited by an anastomosing to coarse-meandering fluvial system, including deposits of lag, cannel-fill, ouver-bank and flood plain. The petrographic composition of the sediments, coupled to their facies and paleocurrent directions, suggest a rather distal sourcearea, to the south of the present plateau. The diagenetic study identified an incipient grain mechanical compaction, pronounced dissolution of the framework, matrix and/or cement components, intense precipitation of kaolinite, silic and, eventually, iron oxides, besides mechanical infiltration of the clays. Most of these events, regarded in the literature as associated to near-surface conditions (eo or telodiagenesis), indicate the FSM sediments were never deeply buried. Topographic relations along longitudinal and transversal sections reaching the Potiguar Basin to the north identified regional dips that allow to discuss stratigraphic correlations between the FSM and the basin formations. The sedimentological features of the different units and the intrusive relations of the Macau volcanics were also considered in these correlations,which support the Oligo-Miocene age previously accepted for the FSM. Concerning the tectonic framework of the FSM, this work investigated the pre-cambrian to cretaceous heritage and the cenozoic deformation, allowing the recognition of pre-, sin and post-FSM structures. The crystalline basement, belonging to the Seridó Belt, displays NE and WNW foliation trends related to the Brasiliano-age ductile shear zones. In this terrain, brittle-ductile and brittle NE- and NW-trending structures, associated with extensional joints filled with pegmatites and quartz veins, are related to an E-W compression by the end of Brasiliano Cycle. The E-W joints and NE-trending fractures were reactivated by N-S to N-S to NW extension during late Jurassic to Cretaceous times, controlling the emplacement of the Rio Ceará-Mirim basic dyke swarm and the opening of the Potiguar rift basin

Rio Apa Massif crops out in the Mato Grosso do Sul state and corresponds to the southeastern portion of the Amazonian Craton dominantly Paleoproterozoic in age. Rio Apa Complex is oldest and it is composed mainly by migmatitic orthogneisses, beyond amphybolites, tonalities and granodiorite. Alto Tererê Group is composed by schists, biotitemuscovite gneisses and micaceous quartzites generally rich in garnets, beyond metabasic rocks of low amphibolite facies. The Amoguijá Group is constituted by Alumiador Intrusive Suite, which is represented by a sieno to monzogranitic batholith and Serra da Bocaina Volcanic Suite composed of volcanoclastic rocks of alkali riolites to monzoriolites compositions and pyroclastic products. Overlaying towards East and South occurs Neoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks from the Paraguai Folded Belt (Cuiabá, Corumbá and Jacadigo Groups - Urucum Formation). Structural-metamorphic framewok is identified by five deformational phases but the actual tectonic and metamorphic structure shows the superposed tectonic array of the Paraguai Folded Belt. Rocks from Rio Apa Complex, Alto Tererê Group and Amoguijá Group record an older structural evolution defined by (Dn-1 and Dn). The deformational phases (Dn+1 and Dn+2) are visible mainly in rocks of Paraguai Folded Belt beyond the last deformation (Dn+3) that imprints all sequences.

This paper is a contribution for the understanding of the geological evolution of Guaxupé Complex. New data on petrography and mineral chemistry as well as estimates of metamorphic (P-T) conditions in the region of Arceburgo - Santa Cruz do Prata (MG) Brazil, at the southern portion of the Brasília Belt, more specifically at the Guaxupé Complex (Domain) are now presented. The lithotypes are high-grade metamorphic rocks subdivided into two groups: metasediments and granulites (orthoderivates). Chemical analysis of minerals was performed in three steps including core and rim of amphibole, pyroxene, feldspar, biotite, and garnet from samples of the following rock types: enderbites, mafic granulites, charnockites, and alkali feldspar charnockites. Results obtained with geothermobarometric calculations show metamorphic peak around 900°C of T and 10 kbar of P. Enderbites and tonalite granulites (mafic) show the highest values of temperature and pressure, while alkali feldspar charnockites show the lowest probably due to their late generation in relation to mafic rock types (enderbites and mafic tonalite granulite). Chemical mineral analysis in metamorphic parageneses and geothermobarometric calculations indicate that the possible metamorphic peak may be higher than 900°C of temperature and around 10 kbar of pressure, within a isothermal decompression (ITD) regime.

O Batólito Guaporeí é um corpo de aproximadamente 240 km2 alongado segundo a direção NW, localizado na região de Vila Bela da Santíssima Trindade, estado de Mato Grosso. Situa-se nos domínios da Província Rondoniana-San Ignácio, no Terreno Paraguá, na porção meridional do Cráton Amazônico. É formado por monzogranitos e, subordinadamente, granodioritos, quartzo-monzonitos e sienogranitos, caracterizados por granulação grossa e textura, em geral, porfirítica a porfiroclástica. Possui biotita como mineral máfico primário, por vezes, associada a anfibólio, e encontra-se metamorfizado na fácies xisto verde, exibindo estrutura milonítica, em estreitas zonas de cisalhamento. Evidências geoquímicas indicam que essas rochas derivam de um magma cálcio-alcalino de alto potássio a shoshonítico, metaluminoso a levemente peraluminoso evoluído por cristalização fracionada associada à assimilação crustal, possivelmente gerado em ambiente de arco continental. Duas fases de deformação relacionadas à Orogenia San Ignácio, caracterizadas pelo estiramento e alinhamento mineral evidenciadas pelas foliações S1 e S2, foram identificadas nestas rochas. Foi obtida pelo método de evaporação de Pb em zircão uma idade de 1.314 ± 3 Ma, interpretada como idade de cristalização do corpo granítico. Dados Sm-Nd em rocha total indicam idade modelo TDM em torno de 1,7 Ga e valor negativo para εNd (t = 1,3) (-14), corroborando a hipótese de envolvimento crustal na gênese do magma. Os resultados obtidos apontam semelhanças entre essas rochas e aquelas de região adjacente em território boliviano, sugerindo que o Granito Guaporeí representa uma extensão do Complexo Granitoide Pensamiento.
