An Approach to the Contribution of Anthropogenic Actions for the Araruama Lagoonal System (Se Brazil) Geomorphological Evolution / Uma Abordagem Sobre a Influência Antropogênica Na Evolução Geomorfológica Do Sistema Lagunar De Araruama (Se, Brasil)
Abstract:The first studies regarding the constitution of the Araruama lagoonal system, located in the Rio de Janeiro state (SE Brazil), were carried out by Alberto Ribeiro Lamego. This author supported the thesis that it had resulted from the formation of a sand barrier (called Massambaba) due to the longitudinal transport of large quantities of sediments through coastal drift currents, and the growth of spits parallel to the shoreline. However, most recent studies largely rejected it, sustaining that the confinement o… Show more
