Mapeamento geológico em áreas graníticas intemperizadas em regiões montanhosas tropicais: o granito Conselheiro Paulino (Faixa Ribeira)

Neste trabalho foram integrados o mapeamento geológico de campo, os dados regionais aerogeofísicos e as imagens orbitais de alta resolução (1 m) para fornecer um mapa geológico detalhado do Pluton granítico Conselheiro Paulino, na Faixa Ribeira, Brasil. A área estudada possui poucos afloramentos e outras questões que dificultam o mapeamento geológico tradicional. Escorregamentos de terra são comuns na porção mais intemperizada do granito. A utilização de imagens orbitais de alta resolução permitiu a identificação dos poucos afloramentos existentes, além de outros elementos, como ravinas, planícies aluviais, eluviões, vegetação e estradas. Isso foi importante para orientar e otimizar as pesquisas de campo. A disponibilidade de dados aerogeofísicos magnéticos e radiométricos corroboraram nos trabalhos de campo e na petrografia do Pluton granítico Conselheiro Paulino. O pluton pode ser dividido em duas facies distintas, sendo uma de composição microgranítica e outra de composição microgranodiorítica

Métodos geofísicos aplicados ao mapeamento geológico numa área da Região Bragantina-Pará

Este trabalho trata da aplicação de métodos geofísicos, numa área piloto da região Bragantina, NE do Pará, com a finalidade de auxiliar no mapeamento geológico. A área acha-se coberta por Sedimentos Terciários espessos e apresenta ocorrências de rochas industriais como calcário e granito, representando uma superfície aflorante menor que 5% da área. Estudos geoquímicos, realizados por Goulart (1978), revelaram que no horizonte A, é impossível diferenciar os materiais de superfície quanto às suas origens. Isto torna difícil o mapeamento geológico de superfície, podendo levar a extrapolações exageradas dos contatos, o que ocorre no mapeamento pré-existente. Os métodos geofísicos aplicados foram: Eletroresistividade e Magnetometria. Também foram realizados alguns furos de sondagens mecânicas. Os resultados obtidos contribuíram para um melhor conhecimento das feições estruturais mapeadas, bem como tornou possível a descoberta de outras estruturas importantes. Definiram-se também duas áreas para subsequente estudo de detalhe, visando a separação do calcário, em melhor e pior qualidade para a fabricação do cimento. Quanto à região dos granitos, recomenda-se que seja feito o seu mapeamento sob forma de "ilhas de granito" em meio à espessas coberturas de solos e sedimentos.

Mapeamento geológico, caracterização litoquímica e potencial econômico do corpo de cromitito de Cedrolina, Santa Terezinha de Goiás - GO

Studies of mafic-ultramafic bodies have been carried out through the years due to their great use on the interpretation of geochemical and geotectonic processes that took place in Earth's history. Amongst them, chromitites are notably recognized for being excellent indicators of their parental magma chemistry and of different geotectonic environments, as well for frequently containing associated noble metals mineralization. Thus the investigation of one of this ultramafic bodies that occurs inside the Pilar de Goiás Greenstone Belt was proposed, resulting in a detailed map of the chromitites and country rocks, as well as innumerous new data on the chemistry of chromite and associated matrix and accessory minerals. These studies were based upon geological field observations, optic and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), besides electron microprobe and cathodoluminescence analysis performed at the “Eugen F. Stumpfl Laboratory” of the Montanuniversität Institute of Resource Mineralogy, University of Leoben - Leoben, Austria. The chromitites are composed of 40-70% in volume of chromite (~50% on average), 14-55% of talc (~30% on average), 3-60% of chromium rich chlorite (~20% on average), traces to 4% of iron hydroxides and traces to 3% of rutile (1,5% on average). The chromite occurs as large spherical aggregates or as fine grained subhedral crystals disseminated in the matrix. This aggregates have diameters of 0.3-1.5 cm (1 cm on average) and are extremely well rounded, massive to intensively fractured, and commonly deformed to ellipsoids. When observed under the microscope, these aggregates show well rounded to slightly irregular borders, but on their interiors, these structures are represented by fine to medium grained euhedral to subhedral chromite crystals that have sharp contacts between themselves. The rock's matrix is basically made of chlorite and talc that define a metamorphic foliation (Sn), being the talc an alteration product ...

Mapeamento geológico-geontécnico de trecho da estrada vicinal na Serra de Itaqueri, Charqueada (SP)

Geological-geotechnical problems affecting escarps as well as embankment and fill slopes of roads and motorways may generate different types of unsteadiness, which are mainly arisen from the deficient knowledge about the physical environment. This results in unsuitable engineering projects and inadequate executions, which can be worsened by an occasional inappropriate maintenance of the construction. A geologically-geotechnically characterization of escarps and slopes is crucial in order to prevent these problems. This work deals with a geological-geotechnical study of 1:10.000 scale mapping in a stretch of a local road (CHQ-40) at the Serra de Itaqueri, Charqueada town, State of São Paulo. The stretch is known by several physical problems as erosion and mass movement. The methods of study were based on an integrative analysis of the diverse elements of the physical environment by using aerial photographs - to obtain the physiographic compartmentalization of terrain units - as well as field work - to accomplish the evaluation of the units by employing sketch lists. To achieve this, we selected several techniques in order to identify and classify different types of existing problems as erosion, landslide in embankments and fill slopes, rockfall, block rolling, among others. We also included the analysis of soil horizon, thickness and composition. The geological-geotechnical mapping resulted in six units: 1- Sandstones in cuesta’s backhill; 2 – Basalts in cuesta’s front; 3- Sandstones in cuesta’s front; 4 – Talus and colluvial deposits at cuesta’s foothill; 5- Sandstones of the Piramboia Formation in hillside; and 6 – Colluvial soil in the hill top. A characterization of the geological-geotechnical units is detailed, coupled to the cartographic material. Other cartographic products elaborated for this study included 1:10.000 maps of hypsometry, slope and curvature
