Debris flows are among the most destructive natural processes in tropical mountainous regions, especially when they affect critical infrastructure. However, integrated methodologies that combine susceptibility analysis, numerical modeling, and structural vulnerability assessment remain scarce, particularly in humid tropical environments such as the Serra do Mar. This study proposes an integrated hazard assessment approach comb...

Atmospheric blocking can cause prolonged droughts in inland Brazil, leading to wildfires that enhance fine particulate matter concentrations in these areas during winter and spring. Biomass smoke plumes can undergo long-range transport and interact with air masses, resulting in darkened, contaminated precipitation. This study presents an extensive analysis of rainwater composition in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP) b...

Our primary objective was to compile a comprehensive dataset on bird–window collisions throughout the Neotropical region, including both published and unpublished sources. On May 12, 2020, we extensively disseminated invitations to provide data via email and social media platforms. By providing a template worksheet, we required standardized information from collaborators to complete and register their data. To better understan...

Purpose Some marine organisms can be used as Biological Quality Elements to estimate the degree of environmental impact and to monitor the health of benthic habitats. Organisms with mineralized protections, such as benthic foraminifera, can provide helpful information on the evolution of the coastal system over a long period and determine the Paleo-Ecological Quality Status (Paleo-EcoQS). This work aims at reconstructing the P...
