Geomorphology Monday, August 6, 2007

Geomorphology is the study of landforms, including their origin and evolution, and the processes that shape them. Geomorphologists seek to understand landform history and dynamics, and predict future changes through a combination of field observation, physical experiment, and numerical modeling.

My work basicaly is to understand the landform history of the Poços de Caldas Alkaline Massif region, located on the brazilian southeastern, using apatite fission track dating and other modeling techniques.
