Preliminary assessment of microplastic pollution in surface waters of the Santos Basin: abundance and diversity in the most important oil and gas exploration hub in Brazil

Ocean and Coastal Research
Microplastics (Mps) are pervasive in the surface waters of the Santos Basin, a critical maritime zone along the Southeast coast of Brazil, vital to both fishing and oil production.

Characterization of stockpiled phosphogypsum waste in Santos basin, Brazil [PDF]

Radioprotection, 2002
Phosphogypsum is a waste produced by the phosphate fertiliser industry. It is formed by precipitation during wet sulphuric acid processing of phosphate rocks. Although phosphogypsum is mainly calcium sulphate dihydrate, it contains elevated levels of impurities, which originate from the source phosphate rock used in the phosphoric acid production ...

Salt structures from inversion of residual gravity anomalies: application in Santos Basin, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Geology, 2019
The Santos Basin, with an area of about 350.000 km 2 , is the largest salt basin of the South Atlantic, and due to its high economic hydrocarbon potential, it is a recurrent theme in scientific studies.

Analysis of analogous microbialite reservoirs and their associated petroleum systems in rift and passive margin basins: South Atlantic (Brazil) vs. North Atlantic (Portugal)

Frontiers in Earth Science
This study compares the efficiency of petroleum systems in the Santos Basin (Brazil) and the Lusitanian Basin (Portugal), focusing of the geological controls on hydrocarbon accumulation in two analogous microbialite reservoirs.

Community structure of the benthic macrofauna along the continental slope of Santos Basin and São Paulo plateau, SW Atlantic.

Ocean and Coastal Research
Continental margins usually have a high degree of environmental heterogeneity, which, in turn, promotes high benthic biodiversity. The South-Southeast regions concentrate the most well-mapped areas of the Brazilian continental margin regarding seafloor ...

Incorporation of substrate blocks into mass transport deposits: Insights from subsurface and outcrop studies

The Depositional Record
Mass movements are common on the continental slope, affecting not only the subsequent sea floor morphology but often substantially modifying the underlying deposits.

Structural pattern of the Todos Santos Coastal Plain, based on geophysical data

Ciencias Marinas, 2004
A set of gravity and magnetic data taken within the Todos Santos Coastal Plain between 1962 and 2000 from land, sea and air is used to integrate the structural framework and tectonic model of this area. The present work collected all the available data,

Deep sea ecosystem exploration and ‘health check’: sampling strategy and methods applied during the iAtlantic_BR10_Petrobras cruise in the Santos Basin, Southwest Atlantic

Ocean and Coastal Research
The iAtlantic Project has established an international collaborative strategy to improve mapping and characterization of deep and open ocean ecosystems in understudied regions of the Atlantic and evaluate their health.

Sedimentary organic matter accumulation provinces in the Santos Basin, SW Atlantic: insights from multiple bulk proxies

Ocean and Coastal Research
The organic matter (OM) of surface sediments (0–2 cm) from the Santos Basin was characterized by employing elemental (C, N, P), isotopic (δ13C and δ15N), biochemical (total carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids), and pigment (chlorophyll-a and ...
