Zoneamento pedoclimático da mesorregião da Chapada do Araripe: levantamento de reconhecimento de baixa e média intensidade dos solos da folha Jardim - (Escala 1:100.000).

Este trabalho tem como objetivo o levantamento de solos, em nível de reconhecimento de baixa e média intensidade na área abrangida pela folha de Jardim, na Chapada do Araripe, no estado do Ceará. A área de estudo possui uma extensão territorial de 983,47 km2, com solos e condições geoambientais diferenciados, desde a zona úmida da chapada até a zona semiárida. Na zona úmida distinguem-se dois tipos extremos de formas de relevo, o plano no topo da Chapada e o relevo ondulado nas encostas. Já na zona semiárida, de relevo predominantemente aplainado, ocorrem as variações de semi-aridez menos intensa (com caatinga hipoxerófila) e mais intensa (com caatinga hiperxerófila). O mapa foi elaborado para estabelecer as características dos solos e suas delimitações de forma cartográfica. Com base em suas conceituações taxonômicas e suas diversas injunções de caráter edafoclimático e geomórfico. A necessidade de planejamento das atividades com base no conhecimento dos recursos naturais disponíveis, em escala compatível, será de fundamental importância para uma exploração autosustentável. Foi elaborado o mapa em nível de reconhecimento de baixa e média intensidade, com escala de apresentação da ordem de 1:100.000

ZONIFICACIÓN FUNCIONAL ECOTURÍSTICA DE LA ZONA COSTERA DE MICHOACÁN, MÉXICO A ESCALA 1:250 000

Esta investigación se desarrolló en la zona costera del estado de Michoacán, el objetivo fundamental es obtener la zonificación funcional ecoturística de la zona costera de Michoacán, México a partir de la clasificación tipológica de los paisajes costeros. Sobre la base del mapa de paisajes físico-geográficos a escala 1:250 000, se calcularon indicadores de heterogeneidad geoecológica y se realizó una recopilación biblio-cartográfica sobre la biodiversidad del territorio. Se diseñaron modelos teóricos de máximo potencial natural para la realización de actividades ecoturísticas y se calculó la similitud de cada geocomplejo con el modelo; mediante un análisis de conglomerados se obtuvo la zonificación funcional ecoturística; para su representación cartográfica se emplearon los métodos de fondo cualitativo, numéricos y símbolos pictóricos. La propuesta de zonificación funcional ecoturística para la costa de Michoacán, permite conocer la distribución del potencial natural del territorio para el ecoturismo, destacando la observación de aves, contemplación de paisajes y senderismo; además, existen potencialidades para algunas actividades de turismo de aventura como el espeleoturismo y la escalada en roca. No obstante la escala regional 1:250 000 de la investigación; esta ofrece una base sustentable para la planificación territorial del ecoturismo de una región con alta diversidad biológica y cultural como la costa de Michoacán.

Zoneamento pedoclimático da mesorregião da Chapada do Araripe: levantamento de reconhecimento de baixa e média intensidade dos solos da folha Crato - (Escala 1:100.000).

Este trabalho tem como objetivo o levantamentos de solos, em nível de reconhecimento de baixa e média intensidade na área abrangida pela folha do Crato, na Chapada do Araripe, no Estado do Ceará. A área de estudo tem extensão cerca de 3.000 km2, com solos e condições geoambientais diferenciados, desde a zona úmida da chapada até a zona semi-árida. Na zona úmida, distinguem-se dois tipos extremos de formas de relevo, o plano no topo da chapada e o relevo ondulado, nas encostas. Já na zona semi-árida, de relevo aplainado, ocorrem as variações de semi-aridez menos intensa (com caatinga hipoxerófila) e mais intensa (caatinga hiperxerófila). O mapa foi elaborado com base em suas conceituações taxonômicas e suas diversas injunções de caráter edafoclimático e geomórfico. A necessidade de planejamento das atividades agrícolas, com base no conhecimento dos recursos naturais disponíveis, em escala compatível, será importante para a exploração auto-sustentável. Foi elaborado um mapa em nível de reconhecimento de baixa e média intensidade, com escala de apresentação da ordem de 1:100.000. Os Neossolos Litólicos ocupam a maior extensão (38,46%), distribuídos nos pediplanos e nas serras e serrotes residuais. Em segundo lugar ocorrem Argissolos Vermelho-Amarelos e Vermelhos. Em terceira posição os Latossolos Amarelos de relevo plano e suave ondulado e os Latossolos Vermelho Amarelos (geralmente de encostas ou ocupando parte dos tabuleiros baixos associados aos Argissolos e Neossolos Quartzarênicos). Em proporções menores ocorrem os Neossolos Flúvicos (com cultivo de cana-de-açúcar), seguidos pelos Neossolos Quartzarênicos e os Vertissolos.

ACTIVIDAD SISMICA DE CARACTER SUPERFICIAL REGISTRADA POR LA RED SISMOGRÁFICA DEL OVSICORI-UNA EN LA HOJA DE SAN JOSE 1:200.000 ENTRE ABRIL 1984 - JULIO 1988

Este trabajo es el resultado del análisis de la información existente, registrada por el OVSICORI-UNA para la región del Valle Central de Costa Rica (Hoja San José, escala 1:200.000).  Históricamente el Valle Central ha sufrido por la acción de varios terremotos.  Entre los más dañinos podemos citar el de Cartago de 1841, el de Fraijanes de 1888, el de Cartago de 1910, el de Sarchí de 1912, el de Patillos de 1952 y el de los del Bajos del Toro en 1955.  Esta actividad asociada a fallas de carácter superficial (z 15 km) y con magnitudes moderadas mb 6.5, muy probablemente se volverá a presentar en el futuro, en igual forma en que se han visto afectada la ciudad de San Salvador en la hermana república de El Salvador.  Es, por lo tanto, de vital importancia investigar conocer y evaluar la existencia de las fallas que han ocasionado dichos terremotos. 

A cartografia geomorfológica como subsídio para a análise do relevo antropogênico em área de mineração

Mining activities are directly related to changes in natural landscapes. With the objective of analyzing the changes imposed by the geomorphological dynamics of human action in areas of mining clay, two fragments were selected from the basin of Ribeirão Santa Gertrudes / SP, representing denudational and sedimentation processes respectively. This area is within the context of the Ceramic Pole Santa Gertrudes / SP, which besides its importance as a supplier of raw material, is characterized as the largest center of international reference in ceramic tiles on the American continent. Data was collected and analyzed from the perspective of anthropogenic geomorphology supported by general systems theory and uses techniques from evolutionary geomorphological mapping. Thus, geomorphological mapping were produced concerning three scenarios, which date from 1962, 1988 and 2006 in a scale of 1:10.000. These surveys allowed us to infer a detailed investigation of the evolution of changes in topography and hydrology, geomorphology representative of the original (1962), which has characteristics of an earlier phase of earlier existing large mining pits, and its evolution to a anthropogenic geomorphological stage, represented by active disruption scenarios dating from 1988 and 2006. The last two scenarios have analyzed changes in the dimensions of relief features when compared with the original scenario representative of geomorphology, as well as an intense reallocation of surface and subsurface materials, in which human action is highlighted by becoming responsible for sculpting the landscape through the imposition of control mechanisms to natural processes.
