Research

RECENT RESEARCH

My present research focus on the glacial and periglacial geomorphology of the Serra da Estrela (Portugal), and on the monitoring and study of the permafrost, active layer, periglacial processes and climate change in Livingston and Deception Islands (South Shetlands, Antarctic).

 

At the Serra da Estrela the main research themes are:

1) glacial chronology;

2) sedimentological study of glacial, fluvioglacial and slope deposits;

3) contemporary geomorphological dynamics of the plateaus and high valleys;

4) Holocene and contemporary debris-flow activity;

5) ground temperature regimes and geomorphological implications.

 

In the Antarctic I am collaborating with the GIFA-Univ. Alcalá de Henares and Dep. Geography – Univ. Zurich and we are monitoring 2 shallow boreholes in Livingston Island since 2000. We are trying to raise funding for the drilling of 2 new ca. 20 m deep boreholes in Livingston and Deception Islands. These boreholes will allow a more detailed monitoring of permafrost conditions and will be part of the future Antarctic permafrost network.

We are involved in the following international programmes:

1) Antarctic and sub-Antarctic Permafrost, Periglacial and Soil Environments (ANTPAS) - SCAR Standing Scientific Group on Geosciences (SSGG) on Antarctic Permafrost and Periglacial Environments.

2) The Thermal State of Permafrost (TSP): an International Network of Permafrost Observatories (INPO) - IPA.

 

In the past year my activities have also focused on the organisation of the Portuguese participation in the International Polar Year 2007-08. I am a member of the National Committee that is being formed and the national point of contact in the IPY structure [ more info ]
