NOTE ON A SMALL FRUIT-EATING BAT FROM THE MIDDLE HOLOCENE OF LAGOA SANTA, EASTERN BRAZIL
Despite being the second most diverse mammalian order, bats remain relatively understudied in the fossil and subfossil record. In Brazil, numerous living species have been identified in cave deposits, although few fossils have been dated, with none originating from the Holocene. This study presents a specimen from the Middle Holocene, collected from Cuvieri Cave. The fossil consists of an incomplete, U-shaped mandible that includes the first molars. The specimen was identified as Artibeus sp., a genus of fruit-eating bats that is currently widespread across Brazilian territory. This specimen originates from a poorly understood temporal interval in the Lagoa Santa region, coinciding with the apparent abandonment of the area by human populations (referred to as the Archaic Gap) and during which the faunal population of Cervidae experienced a notable decline in the number of fossil records. The genus Artibeus is widely distributed in tropical regions and is commonly found in environments ranging from semi-arid regions to savannas and dense forests. It is not considered a paleoenvironmental indicator.

O RIO TIETÊ À ESPERA DE UMA TRANSIÇÃO SOCIOECOLÓGICA, IMAGÉTICA E IDENTITÁRIA
Há anos o Tietê é considerado um rio morto pelos paulistanos. Em épocas de chuvas, além da imagem de esgoto a céu aberto, ele é lembrado pelo transtorno causado ao longo de décadas pelas enchentes que paravam o trânsito de suas marginais. Em tempos de discussão sobre ações de combate à mudança climática, urge a necessidade da elaboração de planos, projetos ou políticas públicas que visem não só recuperar a saúde do rio e mitigar os efeitos de possíveis transbordamentos, mas principalmente de devolver à cidade e aos cidadãos uma relação direta com as águas que atravessam a cidade de São Paulo. Para tanto, faz-se uma varredura nas legislações vigentes e relativas às questões urbanísticas e ambientes na tentativa de se verificar soluções pretendidas em busca de mitigar os efeitos da mudança climática e aproximar o rio aos cidadãos paulistanos. Por fim, este artigo ainda realiza uma reflexão sobre a importância de se pensar uma transição socioecológica, imagética e identitária para o rio Tietê, concluindo sobre a necessidade de se fazer do rio um elemento estruturador da relação de pertencimento da população paulista com a cidade de São Paulo.

DESIGUALDADES SOCIOESPACIAIS EM CIDADES MÉDIAS
The urbanization process in Brazil, intensified primarily after the second half of the 20th century, has brought profound transformations to the structure and organization of urban spaces, with significant repercussions on the configuration of socio-spatial inequalities across various contexts, including intermediate cities. Thus, it becomes essential to analyze and understand socio-spatial inequalities in these cities. For this purpose, the potential of census data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) is highlighted. Considering the context of three intermediate cities, this study aims to demonstrate the efficiency of census data in diagnosing and characterizing urban spaces. To achieve this, the database by census tracts, provided by IBGE, was explored through tabulation, systematization, and mapping of the information. The results presented thus far reveal both the socio-spatial inequalities that characterize each of the analyzed cities and the efficiency of census data for this characterization, underscoring their relevance for urban studies, as well as for management and planning.

This article seeks to know and analyze the perceptions and representations of young students about Juiz de Fora (MG). Perception is placed as the first form of knowledge of the world, which is guided by experiences in lived spaces. Thus, through urban experiences, young people build their perceptions and knowledge about the city. For the article, the methodology was done through a case study with students of the 2nd year of high school, from Escola Estadual Almirante Barroso, using mental maps as a form of representation. In this way, it was possible to verify that the perceptions about the city are linked to spaces close to the school, places that students experience and experience daily.

LGBTQIAP+ PLACES AND SOCIABILITY IN UBERLÂNDIA
Sociability is the main driver of interaction and political movement for the LGBTQIAPN+ group. The construction of places, in this context, becomes the spatial bond where all mutual social influence happens. Additionally, it is in these places that the group's culture generally forms and is disseminated. The relationship between sociability and place is the backbone of this work. The objective is to identify the places of sociability for the LGBTQIAPN+ group in Uberlândia, understand their spatial distribution, and comprehend how this organization influences the group's experiences and lives. Twenty-five places of sociability were identified in the city, divided into four typologies. Besides the bibliographic review, in loco research was carried out using participant observation as a methodology, which enabled a dialectical exercise among four of the places found, distributed in two of the city's main neighborhoods: Centro and Santa Mônica. As a result, it was observed that the model of sociability significantly influences the forms and flows of these places. The location of these spaces is a crucial factor in the plurality of subjects present, as the interaction between them is affected by the social markers that traverse their bodies.

Urban Restructuring involves transformations in the organization and functioning of cities. In Brazil, this restructuring has been marked by the incorporation of a declining industrial matrix and the implementation of new technological arrangements. In this context, globalization and the technical-scientific-informational environment have redefined urban flows, highlighting the role of various agents in the production of space. Consequently, this has led to a range of spatial processes that develop and reshape urban areas, such as socio-spatial segregation, fragmentation, invasion-succession, and inertia. Given the importance of investigating how urban restructuring occurs in the Brazilian context, a broad analysis was carried out on this topic. Thus, the main objective of this work is to review studies produced by scholars related to the theme, seeking to interpret how spatial processes are articulated, how they result from the actions of various social agents, especially the State, and how Brazilian society, through urban social movements, organizes itself to exert social pressure and achieve improvements in neglected areas.

CARACTERIZAÇÃO E INFLUÊNCIA DAS BIOINDÚSTRIAS NO PROCESSO DE URBANIZAÇÃO DE COARI/AM
Este estudo visa caracterizar a influência que as bioindústrias podem exercer dentro do processo de urbanização e da formação da rede urbana no estado do Amazonas, a exemplo de Coari/AM. O processo de urbanização sempre foi considerado polêmico na Amazônia em virtude ao tipo de desenvolvimento proposto para a região. Esse desenvolvimento ligado à industrialização clássica sempre foi vivenciado em outras cidades do Brasil e do mundo e, atrelado a ele, se segue uma extensa degradação ambiental. Alvo de debates, a região amazônica é conhecida por sua rica biodiversidade, bem como as particularidades de sua logística, ligadas diretamente com a sazonalidade dos rios. Entender o crescimento das cidades amazônicas é compreender que sua dinâmica deve ser pautada na sustentabilidade da região sem agredir o meio, podem favorecer o estabelecimento de uma rede urbana sustentável. Coari/AM, mantém dentro de sua estrutura a presença de bioindústrias que, assim como uma indústria clássica, pode exercer a construção do urbano, visando a expansão de sua rede urbana. Neste processo, fez-se um levantamento das principais bioindústrias localizadas na cidade, sua dinâmica e influência dentro da rede urbana. Os resultados devem refletir nas principais discussões atuais a respeito da urbanização amazônica sustentável e das questões ambientais.

This article proposes a reflection on the teaching of Geography considering the socio-spatial segregation experienced by the Black population. It explores the theoretical-methodological approach between geography and music through phenomenological and cultural geography perspectives; the perception of students regarding socio-spatial and socio-cultural issues that arise in the school environment; and the possibilities that music offers for the construction of scientific geographic knowledge. This leads to the creation of the song "Eu me chamo escola" (I Call Myself School), composed and created by students from the 3rd year of High School at the State Public School João Brienne de Camargo during pedagogical workshops held in 2022, which depict the lived experiences of the participating students. The results pertain to the creation of a critical and social reading of the space these students occupy and the role of the school in the process of recognizing their place in the world, facilitating political debate in the processes of emancipation and the struggle for a more democratic city.. Keywords: Geography Teaching; Music; School; Students.

SUSCEPTIBILITY TO MASS GRAVITATIONAL MOVEMENTS AND FLOODING, IMPOSED SOCIOSPATIAL SEGREGATION AND SOCIOECONOMIC VULNERABILITY IN CUBATÃO-SP
A abordagem trazida neste trabalho acerca da relação entre a suscetibilidade a movimentos gravitacionais de massa e inundações e a vulnerabilidade socioeconômica em Cubatão-SP investiga como a produção capitalista do espaço, aliada às mudanças climáticas, influencia desastres ambientais e afeta comunidades vulneráveis. O estudo utiliza dados do Censo Demográfico de 2010 do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) para mapear níveis de vulnerabilidade socioeconômica em setores censitários urbanos, utilizando Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG) para análise espacial, e utiliza carta de suscetibilidade a movimentos gravitacionais de massa e inundação do Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas (IPT) e Serviço Geológico do Brasil (CPRM) de 2014. Além disso, o artigo destaca como a organização do espaço, influenciada pela acumulação de capital, resulta em desigualdades socioespaciais, vulnerabilizando populações específicas. Cubatão, com seu histórico de industrialização e crescimento urbano em áreas aterradas, em mangues, várzeas dos rios e serranias, exemplifica esses desafios. Como conclusão, é possível aferir que a vulnerabilidade socioeconômica está intimamente ligada à suscetibilidade ambiental, reforçando a necessidade de um planejamento urbano que considere as características físicas do território para mitigar riscos.

INDICADORES DE QUALIDADE DO SOLO EM ÁREA DEGRADADA NA AMAZÔNIA:
A qualidade do solo é essencial para a biodiversidade e a resiliência das florestas às mudanças climáticas. A degradação causada por práticas insustentáveis prejudica a regeneração da vegetação nativa, ressaltando a importância da restauração ecológica para garantir a sustentabilidade dos ecossistemas. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto da vegetação nativa e da pecuária sobre a qualidade do solo em diferentes compartimentos da paisagem na região da Volta Grande do Xingu. Amostras de solo foram coletadas em áreas de floresta e degradadas, em três faixas de altitude (120-130 m, 130-140 m e 140-150 m), para determinar os atributos físicos e químicos e o Índice de Qualidade Estrutural do Solo (IQES). A análise revelou diferenças significativas entre as áreas de floresta e as áreas degradadas, refletindo o impacto das práticas de manejo. as áreas de floresta apresentaram melhor qualidade física do solo em comparação com as áreas degradadas. A Floresta teve maiores concentrações de carbono orgânico, fósforo assimilável e potássio, além de um pH mais ácido, devido ao acúmulo de matéria orgânica. Em contraste, as faixas altitudinais degradadas apresentaram uma tendência de compactação. Esses resultados confirmam que a vegetação nativa melhora a qualidade do solo e sustenta processos ecológicos benéficos, enquanto práticas inadequadas comprometem a funcionalidade ecológica do solo.

GEOPROCESSAMENTO APLICADO AO LICENCIAMENTO AMBIENTAL DE CONDOMÍNIOS HABITACIONAIS HORIZONTAIS NA ÁREA URBANA DO MUNICÍPIO DE CASTANHAL - PA
As a way of regulating the relationship between society and nature, several rules and laws have become necessary to avoid degrading and harmful practices to the environment. Thus, this article aimed to evaluate the environmental licensing process of horizontal housing condominiums in their relationship with rivers and permanent preservation areas (APPs), taking as the study site the urban area of ​​the municipality of Castanhal, in the state of Pará. A survey of the relevant legislation at the national, state and municipal levels was carried out, as well as geospatial data and information, which were interpreted and systematized using geoprocessing techniques. Checking the environmental licensing processes since 2020, 18 projects were found in the area under study, of which 10 were licensed, 3 were under analysis and 5 were unlicensed, some already well established, while others are still incipient. The rivers are up to 10 m wide, some are natural so far, but others have been modified by channeling, and must have 30 m APPs on each bank. After the interrelations, the following were identified: proximity and overlaps between condominiums and rivers and APPs, high anthropic pressure on hydrography and vegetation, and medium to large-scale occupations with very high construction standards. It is understood that compliance with the legislation, as well as the actions of those responsible, need to be greater and more effective, with the need for constant improvements, aiming to achieve the principles of sustainable development.

THE EMANCIPATION OF LABOR IN THE 21ST CENTURY AND NEW FORMS OF MIGRATION IN BRAZIL
This article deals with the question of labor emancipation and new forms of migration in Brazil in the first half of the 21st century. We offer our modest contribution to an understanding of the relationship between labor emancipation and international migration. While the whole of the second half of the 20th century was marked by the emigration of Brazilians to countries in Europe and the USA, today Brazil sees itself as a host country for foreign immigrants. This new situation could well be explained by the emancipation of labor, since in countries where the capitalist model of accumulation is at work, the need for emancipation is real. However, based on the history of Brazilian workers' struggles, we conclude that the new forms of migration are rather linked to the consequences of the misdeeds of the neoliberal system.

TRANSIÇÃO DO USO E COBERTURA DA TERRA EM DUAS BACIAS HIDROGRÁFICAS NA SAVANA BRASILEIRA
The objective of this study was to analyze land use and land cover in the years 2013 and 2020 in the watersheds of Córrego Indaiá and Córrego Grande, located in the Cerrado (Brazilian Savanna). For land use and land cover classification, images generated by the OLI/Landsat 8 sensor were utilized, considering a spatial resolution of 15 meters. The land use and land cover transition was conducted using the Tabulation Matrix technique. In 2013, the area of cultivated land/annual crops (mainly soybeans and corn) was the predominant class in the two river basins, followed by pasture. In 2020, the area of cultivated land/annual crops remained the main class in the two river basins, followed mainly by the categories of fragments of Cerrado and pasture in the BH of Córrego Grande, and of pasture and cerradão in the BH of Córrego Indaiá. Greater gains were observed in areas of Cerrado fragments and pasture in the BH of Córrego Grande, and of pasture and cultivated land/annual crops in the BH of Córrego Indaiá. The presence of exposed soil resulting from advanced erosion processes (furrows, ravines and gullies) was found in the BH of Córrego Grande, reinforcing that even with gains in Cerrado fragments, it is essential that land use and coverage and soil management are aligned with environmental conservation.

SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ON LAKES: SCIENTOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION IN BRAZIL FROM 2006 TO 2021
Environmental degradation is most often associated with human actions that socially and environmentally affect life in different ecosystems. The interaction between social actors and the natural space promotes broad, dynamic and complex socio-environmental transformations, which have been addressed in several scientific publications. The objectives of this study were: 1) to identify and analyze the Brazilian scientific production on the themes transformations and socio-environmental impacts on lakes; 2) point out the main socio-environmental impacts identified in these ecosystems and 3) discuss whether the approach to impacts was somehow related to the quality of life of people and the environment. For this, a scientometric research was carried out, in which scientific articles were searched in the SciELO and Web of Science databases using the following combinations of words in English and Portuguese (SciELO): “social and environmental impacts/impactos social e ambient”, “social and environmental transformations” and “quality of life”. Only publications from the period 2006 to 2021 were considered. The data were systematized in a spreadsheet and later the content analysis was performed. Brazilian scientific production has shown to be limited in terms of transformations and socio-environmental impacts on lakes. The themes “Socio-environmental Impacts” and “Socio-environmental Transformations” are incipient in the literature when related to quality of life.

Diversity and antioxidant potential of Asteraceae species occurring in Cerrado fragments in Pontal do Triângulo Mineiro
The flora of the brazilian savana has a wide biodiversity of bioactive compounds with medicinal potential, however, little is known about these compounds in naturally occurring species. Considering the constant threats to biodiversity that this biome has been suffering from the expansion of agricultural areas, actions are necessary to encourage its appreciation and use of species in a sustainable way. In this study, the objective was to carry out a survey of species with antioxidant potential belonging to the Asteraceae botany family occurring in brazilian savana, in the Pontal do Triângulo Mineiro region, MG. The location of the species was carried out through expeditions and random walks in brazilian savana in the Ituiutaba region, Minas Gerais. After identifying the selected species, samples of the aerial part were collected and dried in a forced air circulation oven at 35°C to obtain dry mass for phytochemical analysis. The method used to determine antioxidant activity was by capturing the DPPH radical, total phenolic compounds were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteau reagent, and the flavonoid content was quantified by a colorimetric method. Eight species belonging to the Astearaceae family were located and identified. Through the analysis of phytochemical results, the presence of phenolics and flavonoids was verified significantly in all species, in addition, all of them presented antioxidant action.

A compreensão da reestruturação socioespacial se faz por meio de um processo de caminhos e descaminhos que fomenta alterações na constante fisico-morfológica, bem como nas bases sociais. Além de abarcar uma dimensão teórico-conceitual, a reestruturação socioespacial também pode ser considerada como uma esfera metodológica que possui extrema relevância no que diz respeito ao debate científico. Nesse sentido, objetivamos, no presente artigo, apontar tal faceta do processo de reestruturação socioespacial. O percurso metodológico percorrido se dá pela enfatização conceitual - possibilidade metodológica - empiricização tempo-espaço determinado. Para essa compreensão, propõe-se um exercício prático analisando um jogo de escalas entre o estado do Ceará e a cidade de Fortaleza, através do imperativo da periodização. Como resultado de pesquisa, alvitramos uma periodização para Fortaleza, em quatro fases espaço-temporais, que compõem os períodos da reestruturação socioespacial nessa escala geográfica de análise.

EVOLUÇÃO DO CONHECIMENTO SOBRE OS CORPOS ÍGNEOS DA PORÇÃO OESTE DO BATÓLITO IPOJUCA-ATALAIA:
Ao longo das décadas o processo de elaboração de produtos geológicos passou por importantes mudanças com o uso de sensores remotos orbitais e aerotransportados. Os dados aerogeofísicos apresentam uma nova fronteira para as Geociências. Nesta pesquisa foram utilizados dados aeromagnéticos e aerogamaespectrométricos para delimitar unidades geológicas e lineamentos. A metodologia consistiu no emprego de técnicas de processamento de dados para a aquisição da imagem do campo magnético anômalo, que posteriormente passou pelo processo de filtragem para chegar aos produtos da amplitude do sinal analítico e da primeira derivada vertical, com o intuito de realçar os lineamentos. Em seguida foram analisados os dados aerogamaespectrométricos através das imagens dos três canais radiométricos (K, eTh e eU) que foram interpretadas de forma individual e subsequentemente usadas para a composição da imagem ternária RGB (red; green; blue). A composição RGB foi interpretada de maneira qualitativa, delimitando os principais domínios litogeofísicos. Como resultado foi possível distinguir quatro domínios magnéticos e revelar a intensa deformação experimentada pelo Batólito Ipojuca-Atalaia através das zonas de cisalhamento. Os dados aerogamaespectrométricos possibilitaram o aprimoramento dos limites entre os corpos ígneos e demais litotipos da área estudada. Logo, o artigo fornece dados para o aprimoramento da base geológica disponível para a porção oeste do Batólito Ipojuca-Atalaia.

INFLUÊNCIA DA MINERAÇÃO NO ACESSO À SAÚDE PÚBLICA
This study aims to evaluate whether access to public health in territories directly influenced by mining is higher compared to municipalities outside this type of territory. Data from 2018 were collected, referring to mining (Group 1) and non-mining (Group 2) municipalities, in the dimensions of access to public health. The nonparametric Mann-Whitney test was performed comparing the 2 groups and a multiple linear regression utilizing the “Access to Primary Care Index”, created by the authors. It was found in the Payment Dimension, the GDP Per Capita, the Beneficiary Rate of Health Plans and the Beneficiary Rate of the “Bolsa Família Program” obtained different values ​​when comparing the groups. Furthermore, it was observed the influence of mining on the rate of live births with low weight, an important indicator of human development. This rate is lower in mining municipalities. In the regression, however, it was not possible to observe the influence of mining on access to primary care. Thus, it is believed that for the improvement and better use of CFEM resources and other taxes arising from the presence of mining companies in the municipalities, dialogues are created between the company, government agencies and the citizen to create efficient public policies to improve access to public health.

APPLICATION OF BOLLINGER BANDS IN AIR TEMPERATURE ANALYSIS IN CUIABÁ-MT
The planet Earth has been facing various atypical situations over the last few decades, such as rising global temperatures, increased frequency of the El Niño phenomenon, extreme droughts in some regions, and excessive rainfall in others. These issues are directly related to climate change. As a result of these facts, many researchers have directed their attention to understanding the planet's climatic behavior, conducting studies with the aim of understanding its functioning, identifying future changes, predicting natural disasters, and reducing their impacts. In response to this issue, this research seeks to contribute to the evolution of climatological knowledge by analyzing the effectiveness of Bollinger Bands, a tool traditionally used in the financial market for time series analysis. In this study, it is adapted to the climatological context and applied to air temperature data collected in the city of Cuiabá-MT between the years 2003 and 2022. The results obtained show that the technique can assist in studying the climatic patterns of the air temperature variable and reveal details about local seasonality. The generated graphs allowed the visualization of standardized behaviors and characteristics related to climatic events that occurred within the analyzed period.

The cerrado is one of the 25 hotspots in the world and is considered the savanna with the most biodiversity of species. However, while it has high environmental relevance, the biome is the focus of intense agricultural use due to its favorable natural conditions. For the study of the cerrado, the Mapbiomas Platform has stood out in providing useful information on the cover and use of soil, water surface, and fire scars. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze the Mapbiomas Platform concerning the use and coverage of soils in the cerrado in Brazil, and detail, at Triângulo Mineiro, on historical series from 1985-2021, and to ascertain the environmental implications arising from this action, focusing on soil organic matter. The results indicated that the cerrado, in general, has been replaced by large-scale agriculture in the last 35 years, and its areas have shrunk by 25% in this period (considering only the cerrado) the increase in pasture and agricultural areas in the Brazilian cerrado corresponds to 23% and 621%, respectively, in the period from 1985 to 2021, and the use and coverage of soils in the cerrado in the Triângulo Mineiro follow the same flow as the rest of the country in terms of the expansion of agriculture. In the opposite direction of areas occupied by agriculture, livestock, and forest plantations, water bodies showed a reduction of 5% in the same period, and hydromorphic environments decreased by 3%, corroborating the premise that the Brazilian cerrado is drying out. In general, the municipalities of the Triângulo Mineiro came from an occupation of the cerrado and transformation of its native cover by crops or pasture before the 1980s, which was consolidated during this period, maintaining high deforestation rates. The main changes in land use related to the replacement of native cerrado vegetation for the expansion of modern agriculture in recent decades are generally followed by soil C losses (~22%). In contrast, annual crops under the crop-livestock-forest system can potentially accumulate C in the soil and partially reverse C losses after converting native vegetation.

This article has as main objective to relate the contributions of the epistemology of Geomorphology in the formation of relief and landscape. For this, books, articles from scientific journals were used as bases for the research. It is emphasized that these two authors contributed to the development of the bases of the epistemology of geomorphology that over time has undergone modifications through a systemic view. In this perspective, Davis' geographic cycle and the criticisms proposed by Penk and his climatic geomorphology in the Davisian model will be analyzed. To analyze the systematization of the epistemology of geomorphology and not to think about the contribution of Davis and Penk is to deny the contribution of the authors to the construction of geomorphological thought.

ANTHROPOENTOMOPHAGY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF BABASSU COCONUT BREAKERS
The study aimed to explore the perspectives of babaçu coconut breakers regarding the utilization of insects in human food. It was a descriptive-exploratory research employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches, conducted in a rural village situated in Senador La Rocque, Maranhão. Data collection occurred in June 2023, involving interviews with a total of 18 coconut breakers. Quantitative data were analyzed, organized into absolute and relative frequencies, and presented in graphs and tables. The qualitative data underwent analysis using the Content Analysis method. The study unveiled an unfavorable perception among babaçu coconut breakers regarding insect consumption, marked by prevalent negative stereotypes such as disgust and dirtiness. While 89% of surveyed women asserted never having consumed insects, 56% reported preparing and consuming babaçu coconut larvae. Various animals were identified as insects by the coconut breakers, spanning different taxonomic groups. This study serves as documentation of traditional knowledge on anthropoentomophagy among babaçu coconut breakers in a rural Maranhão village.

Fossildiagenetic analysis of tooth and rib of Eremotherium laurillardi (Lund, 1842) from Pleistocene deposits in western Pará state, northern Brazil.
Ground sloths occupied the Brazilian Intertropical Region during the Upper Pleistocene. The species Eremotherium laurillardi, object of this study, occurred in a wide geographic range from North America to Southern Brazil. In the west of the Pará State, northern Brazil, there is a depositional site with excellent preservation of disarticulated bones of five individuals. A morphological analysis conducted on samples of rib and tooth from these fossils, using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, suggests that their microstructures remained well preserved. Additionally, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy analysis carried out on these fossils showed a unaltered chemical composition relating to Ca, P, Mg, K, and Na contents due to its isolation from the exogenous cycle, indicated by the presence of pyrite.

MAGNITUDE AND RECURRENCE INTERVALS OF BANKFULL DISCHARGE IN RIVERS OF BASALTIC PLATEAU, PARANA STATE, SOUTHERN BRAZIL
The objective of this work is to estimate the magnitudes of bankfull discharge (Qbf) and the respective recurrence interval (RI) in fluviometric stations located in the West and Southwest regions of Paraná state, southern Brazil. The study area is located in a homogeneous region with common physiographic characteristics (geological, geomorphological and climatic). The bankfull stage was defined in the field by topographic survey based on the average height of natural levees in shallow incised channels and aluvial break in deep incised channels. The corresponding Qbf was calculated using rating curve equation. RI was estimated by the Log-Pearson III distribution. The catchment area in 16 fluviometric stations analyzed ranged from 336 to 17,400 km2 and the estimated Qbf ranged from 77.7 to 2,580 m3/s respectively. The values of RI of bankfull ranged from 1.05 to 1.80 years with an average value of 1.34 years.
